Mr. Frank,
I just want you to know that I have always admired Ms. Pat. She was such a wonderful role model for me growing up. I remember coming over and visiting and talking with her when I was still in elementary school because she always had great stories to tell and she was always interested in what was going on in my life. I also remember how she made spaghetti for me when I got braces at age 12, and that was the best spaghetti I ever had. It made momma jealous because I preferred Ms. Pat's spaghetti over hers! I enjoyed helping her out at Vacation Bible School when I was younger. We always had a great time together. Our family always felt better knowing that Ms. Pat was next door because she was like a member of the family. She will be truly missed by all of us. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
