I am missing you my friend. I hope that your “Home Going” was far better than you expected. I strongly expect that being in the arms of the Lord is far better than anything here. I will take care of Bob as long as the Lord allows.

I knew Pat for only a short time; a beautiful woman in both appearance and in spirit. I’m so sorry Bob that you have to go through this kind of loss twice. I wish you strength and peace in the days ahead.
