Dear Pat,
Words are inadequate to describe a wonderful soul who spent a lifetime inselfless service to others' needs before your own. I will miss our lunchtime chats, bacon and egg pie, pikelets, and caramel slice.
You never had a bad word to say
about anyone, and if you did, they probably deserved
it. Godspeed, Pat, as you close the farm gate on a life and world far richer for having you in it. God bless Gavin.
