We send our condolences and our love to Pat and her family. Unfortunately, we never got to become acquainted with Don. Our families were never close, geographically, so we never crossed paths. But Pat is one of Lee's best known cousins, having worked together on some family reunion gathering, through email correspondence, and of course, remembering our time spent at our grandparents' house when we were very young.
Pat, Barb and I will keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayers. Be well.
