Bless her heart. I’m sure she went straight to Heaven and is at Peace now. I remember meeting her on our first day at St V’s. Her room faced mine, and we both looked lost. J S ’63
May she rest in peace. I sure am glad she was able to come to the last few lunches we had. What a sweet person even if she didn’t remember most of us. L S ;63

I saw Pat a few years ago when she and Norb were celebrating their I think 50th anniversary. As one of her bridesmaids and school friend I was invited to the celebration. This was before her strokes. They danced and had a wonderful time. God takes the best ones. B M ’63
