Gloria and family, we love you all so much. Wish we could be with you tomorrow; just didn't know it in time to make the plans. Like many of the others, Mom is getting to where she has to plan awhile before making a trip! Randy is out of the State flying and Kathy also learned of this tonight so I don't think it'll be possible for her to make the trip either in such short notice. EA and I send our love as do the others. God bless your family at this time and just know our prayers are with you!

When thinking of Pat we'll always have a smile! He was a precious person and my dad loved him so much!
