I have many, many fond memories with Pat and family at the farm, and at her awesome New Years Day parties, and joining all the ladies when my mom (Jo McLeod) hosted their many years of card club when I was growing up, and even as an adult when I got to join the card club. Running into Pat over the years was always special, we had great chats about days gone by. She will be so missed. My deepest sympathy, love and prayers to all of her family….she was so proud of you all. May your memories bring you comfort and peace. Rest In Peace, Patty. ?
