Bill, so sorry to see the post on facebook about Pat, then the obit in today's paper. I will miss her as I know a lot of other people will. Wish I had gone more often to see her; last time was late in June, but she seemed physically fine then. Hope you are holding up okay; if I can do anything for you, please don't hesitate to call me.
Bill, Fred and I send our love and sympathy. I`ve been thinking about you and Patsy lately, wondering how you were doing. Get in touch when you can. She was a beautiful lady and I loved her.
