I grieve with our whole family for the loss of shared happy moments. Pat and I shared 80 years as sisters.  We shared a bedroom until she married. When we were young,  she was  a very smart & ladylike older sister. I was a tomboy. I remember mother wondering why I couldn’t be more like Pat. But I also remembered that daddy wanted a boy  for the 2nd child and instead got me.  So we were different in many ways but I looked up to her.  Once on a family trip to New York, i lost my wallet at a campsite.  We had all saved our allowance $$ for that trip. I cried and begged for $$ from everyone so I could get a keepsake from NYC. Pat was the only sibling who offered to share. She didn’t have much $$ but was the big sister offering kindness. As we got older & had children we laughed more together than anything.  I’ll miss her.

Debbie, Pat and Betty K all grown up and out to eat and a drink if desired.

Our parents rarely had the money to have professional photos done so this is a rare one. There are just 4 of us in this photo so this was in the late 40’s or early 50’s.  Pat was the oldest and a good role model for us. She was smart, quiet and very ladylike as a young girl.

In the past few years Pat was homebound due to her disabilities. So we sisters visited her at home (usually one at a time) .  Pat talked more in smaller crowds, but we always had a laugh together.

Our deepest sympathy and wishes for comfort and peace to Pat's family on her passing.
