Although Pat was my cousin, she felt more like the best big sister to me. When I was a little girl, I thought she was the most beautiful person I had ever seen. I did so look up to her. When I got a little older, I spent a whole summer with Pat and Joe and the children. That was one of the best summers of my life and Pat continued to treat me more as a sister than a cousin. That summer I learned that Pat's real beauty was her kindness, patience and love. There are no words to cover this loss, but memories do not die. My love to all of you, Your Southern cousin, Sandy
