Today I attended the celebration of Pat’s life and heard some wonderful stories from Susan and Louis. I so enjoyed helping Pat and kitty Jasmine for 3 years at Silver Maples! I loved talking to Pat about cats, books, flowers and her life as an attorney. I will always think of Pat when I scroll past QVC on TV or hear someone ask, “What’s new in your world”. She will be greatly missed!
