My Most fondest memory with Mamaw was poker night with the family. Everyone would be over at Mamaws. While my parents and our relatives played poked, Mamaw  had seen it as an opportunity for me to  put my Countless hours of prancing around in front of Mamaw on the invisible catwalk that lied in her living room in front of her tv that stopped her from watching judge Judy or her favorite paid programming (QVC). She encouraged me to embrace my inner diva, & I loved every minute of it!
Wether it was a fashion show or a Live audience concert, Mamaw always knew how to make Me feel so special out of a room full of people.
The boys & I  will love an cherish you forever Mamaw

I always remember Aunt Pat as a soft spoken person without heavy judgement.  I was trying to remember an occasion that I saw her mad. Sure she would laugh at us kids for our antics, but never yelling. The last time we talked she was as sharp as ever, completely remembering the details of some of those antics we pulled. (sometimes with Uncle Bill)
I suspect that I will always remember her as a kind soul. 

To my sister n laws Debbie & Nancy, we are heartbroken over the loss of your Mother. On behalf of myself and Cris, may the love of those around you provide comfort and peace to get you through the days ahead. Our most sincere condolences to you and your families.  Pat, you will always remain in our Hearts. Rest in peace Mamow 🙏🏼

My grandma (Mamow) my rock. I have so many memories of you but their is this memory I will never forget. And always when I think of it I laugh. If you know my grandma you new she never drove a car.. but when we were in my car and I was driving her  she then new how to Drive. She always had her foot on the brake on the passenger side.  And would press her brake when she thought she needed to. I will never forget your brake you had on the passenger side. That brake will always be their. She always used her brake. Haha. I will miss those days we drove around store hopping.   I will forever cherish the memories we had and always miss you. Love you.     Your granddaughter  that you called aleth.                    

I have very fond memories of Mrs. "Pat" Fredrickson. She was always a kind and genuine neighbor of ours on Crystal Dr. She and Grandma would always say hello and visit each other across the street. I remember back in the early 70's during the 4th of July holiday with our fireworks out in the street, I was playing with sparklers and launched one in the air. With my poor aim it landed in Bill and Pat's tree bush in front of their house and caught fire!  Of course the water hose put it out. What I remember was Bill cracked a smile and Pat was kind about it. My Grandma however was not happy with me!  The Fredrickson's were always good to us kids. Even though we didn't see each other all the time, we knew that everyone looked out for one another. Pat was very consistent with her caring for my Grandparents and our family. When my Grandfather was ill and passed away and subsequently my Grandmother's illness and passed away, Pat was so attentive and visited my Grandmother with caring friendship and neighborly love. We loved Pat very much. Bless you Mrs. Fredrickson! Rest in Peace dear!

Pat, we love you. You will be forever in our hearts. We pray you and Bill are dancing together once again to a great George Strait song. We hope Davida was one of your angels that came and took you by the hand to heaven. Dan and I will never forget the love and care you gave to our son Ryan in his younger years. We have an Irish poem for you: 
If roses grow in heaven, Lord pick a bunch for me. Please place them in our dear friends arms and tell her there from me. Please tell her we love her and miss her and when she turns to smile, place a kiss upon her cheek and hold her for awhile. Remembering Pat our friend  is easy, I do it every day, but there is an ache within my heart that will never go away. Thank you for your love and always being a great friend an addition to our family. Love Dan, Julie and Ryan Dunne
