Dear Uncle Dick and Family,
I’m so sorry that you lost Pat. She was such a wonderful, vibrant and inspirational person. Fortunately memories never die. Best wishes always.
With Love,
Barbara McClelland & Family
David and I still have fond memories of when you had us to breakfast at your lovely home when we were traveling for the Bar Association. Our prayers are with you.
I spoke to my Stepmom Pat on Christmas Eve to wish them happy holidays and to also share with her that my beloved Golden Retriever, Annie, had just passed away. Pat was so supportive and empathetic. She even mailed me a card with a newspaper clipping of the author who wrote Marley. When I was 17 she married my Dad and was an instant Mom to 5 kids. We had many wonderful family memories, like the New Year’s Eve we crosscountry skiied on their property under a full moon. It deeply saddens me and shocks me that the family wrote that she only had 3 children. We may have had our ups and downs but I was never told that I was no longer her daughter nor was I ever told that she had passed. She was the proud Mother of 5 children, Janet, Jean, JoAnne, Jim and Steele. It was sad for me to learn that she had passed while I was in the Bahamas and that I didn’t get a chance to say good bye to her. She was such a strong influence in my life and I will miss her deeply. Her daughter Jean
