All though I took care of Pat for only a short time, I could tell she was suffering. The pain is now gone and she is finally at peace. I hope I was some comfort to her, Glen and the family during this sad time. Because of the hour of Pat’s passing and the unavailability transportation, Glen, who was in mourning himself, was kind enough to give me a ride home so I could be with my family. I appreciate his thoughtfulness and I will keep him and the rest of the family in my prayers.
With deepest sympathies …..Sandy King

Dear Glenn,

There are no words that can express our feelings over the loss of Pat. Pat was a ray of sunshine! Her loving smile and kindness were only some of her assets. God puts certain people on this Earth to bring joy to others, this was Pat. Pat was an Angel on Earth and now is an Angel in Heaven free from pain and discomfort.

Glenn, during this time keep your faith stay strong. We love you.
