Remembering Pat and Clarence and Bill many years ago. Recently, Janie and I (a cousin by marriage) enjoyed going out to eat frequently. We talked about years gone by and the many changes we have witnessed. She was always happy and seemed to enjoy just the fact we had each other that remembered WHEN. She loved her family and they were always in her life. Pat will be missed .
