Mom, Its almost a year since you left. I love you & miss you so much. Its been so hard living without you. I miss being able to call you, I miss being able to see you, I miss being able to hear your voice but most of I miss being able to hold you. I pray that one day we'll be able to be together again. Love your son Rick

I was so shocked to see this in my email today. I first "met" Pat through my email. She knew my late husband, Hal Langhout, who died in 2006. After his death we continued our emails, and we've remained email buddies ever since. She talked about her family, grandkids, and her other interests. She was so very proud of her family. I feel like I knew her even though we had not met face to face. We were friends on FB as well. I will miss her emails...they were some of the best ever! I will pray for all of you during this time of great sorrow, that your memories with her will bring healing to you as time goes by. She was definitely a great lady.

I am deeply saddend by the loss of Patricia. Rich and I went to high school together but I really didn't get to know her well until Facebook. She remembered me after all these years and always had kind words of praise or encourgement, depending on my post. She spoke about my childrens acheivements as if she knew them and I could actually feel the love she radiated via the technology of Facebook ! Its funny how she was able to make sitting in front of inhuman computer warm and inviting. I never knew her to have a bad day, unless she was worried about a member of her family. I looked forward to her upbeat positive posts and I will miss her nightly poems. Rest in peace Pat , you will be missed.

I am so stunned and deeply sorry to hear about this, just now..oh, my pat...she and I really became very good friends over the last few years. I dated rich in high school and she remembered me and when facebook came in to my life, she friend-ed me and I her.
I know that she's in heaven and not struggling to breathe. May God bless all of her family and may she rest at peace in Gods arms.
Rich, I am sorry that I won't be able to attend her services, please know tho that I'll be there in spirit and she will always remain in my heart and in my prayers.

My dear buddy, you are now at home with Our Lord. RIP, I will miss you so much.
"There is a place that lies beyond, and pass those golden doors awaits the one who's now away, not lost just gone before. And in the place that lies beyond Our Master has prepared a place when we all shall meet your there."
God bless the Lenart,Wallow families.

I didn't know your mother except through Moriah, but I feel she was truly loved by all of you and will be greatly missed. A mother's love can never be replaced but lives with you forever.
