For as long as I can remember my mother would make plans and count the names of people she was expecting for family dinners
...Easter, Christmas, Birthdays. She
would always say, "I hope Mrs. Pat can make it. She is so pretty and classy." Mom was not in the habit of telling lies. Mrs. Pat had a warm smile and a wonderful spirit. Her presence was comforting and she was enjoyable just to be around. I really liked joking around with her at the family get togethers. I know she will be missed.
