I am so sorry for the loss of this beautiful, sweet, and loving woman. She brought me joy and showed me strength in just the short time I was in her life. I cannot imagine what you all feel and have gone through with her loss and illness, but I do know that she is in a better place, no longer suffering. To Bob I know that you made her life worth living and was the best husband to her not many of those at left but the love you two had was so amazing and I could see it all the time . Also I know the joy her family and the children brought because we talked about it so I am glad she had those things and I wish you all the best at finding peace and comfort with her passing. I will pray for your strength.
My sympathy goes out to you in the loss of Pat. May God bless and keep you
Love and Prayers Sue Cadle
