Dear Patti, Colleen and Kathleen and John- I’m so sorry about Great Aunt Pat. I didn’t know about her passing and I just heard if this now. Your mom was beautiful and had the sweetest laugh in the world. I will always remember her (just a few years ago) driving the boat on Lake Geneva on one of the busiest Saturdays of the year! God Bless Aunt Pat and I know she’s reunited with dear Jack.
Love,
Beth Kelly Tabor
