Never have I ever known another person who has been more giving to so many people, than Pud and Pat. Both have helped others, to the point of doing without themselves. Our Brother and Sister in Law.
Rest in peace dear Pat. You will be missed by all who knew you.

I will always love Pat as my "big sister" and how she worked so hard to become a nurse. I know how she loved her family and her many kindnesses. But now
I know she has progressed on to her highest good and she is no longer
suffering. I hold her in Light and Love and see her happy and whole.

God's Garden
God looked around his garden
And found an empty place,
He then looked down upon the earth
And saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you
And lifted you to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering
He knew you were in pain.
He knew that you would never
Get well on earth again.
He saw the road was getting rough
And the hills were hard to climb.
So he closed your weary eyelids
And whispered,˜Peace bethine.
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn't go alone,
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home.
