Aunt Pat,
I will always remember going over to your home and seeing all your hummingbird feeders hung out and buzzing with birds. I loved sitting with you in the porch and watching them. I will miss you.
Pat, even though we’ll miss you, we know your home. Home with Jesus, Dick and many others who have gone on before. I love you always and will forever miss you. I know you’ll be watching over your girls and all of us left here. Your our newest Angel now. Rest in peace. Until we see you again, in heaven. You were the Best!
You were my Queen Lila. We had fun and shared humor and you loved me like a Mom. I loved you back!
I sure enjoyed your stories about being one of 11 children and being raised in Oregon during the war.
You were feisty and stood firmly on your high standards. You took pleasure in beauty and creating art.
Your main delight was with your family. You loved, scolded, and supported every member of your nuclear and extended family. You also included a few others that were lucky to be included. Thank you.💞💕💗
