Dear Jane and entire family,
Our deepest condolences st the passing of your Mom. I love ever story about her, and seeing her in your drive, visiting Max. Bless you all, she was a truly unique person. She will be missed.
The Fischer grandkids adored Pat and loved going to “Pat’s Farm”. My mom will miss dropping off goodies to Pat and Fat Cat. What a sweet lady.
What can I say about P.A….conversations about anything and everything! Strength, perseverance and an infectious laugh. Sheep dogs, turkey tetrazzini, lady fingers from Dixie Cream, my love of ferns and the BEST Screwdrivers I’ve ever had!!
Most of all I thank you for my dear friend, Beth.
Rest well lady, I look forward to more conversations and screwdrivers in heaven.
Condolences, prayers and love for the family.
I hope Pat is celebrating life in heaven now. She was a lovely lady, and a long time close friend to my late mother. A very sweet, kind woman. Rest In Peace.
Pat was a big part of our lives. Our back yards joined so much of our time was spent at the Geise’s. Pat always had some wonderful pets we would play with. My parents, Merle and Ann Crossland also thought the world of her. She was a strong, wonderful lady. She will be missed by all. Praayers to the family.
