  Just discovered Pat's passing in obit.s as we are away. SO SAD !!! We realise that Pat hasn't been well for some time but still a shock. Even when she felt her worst, she would always flash her bright, sunny smile and reply ''terrible,'' when asked how she was. She was a kind, gentle soul. So sorry we can't be present for her memorial service. Farewell sweet lady !!!
