Dear Uncle Lee, Lori and Howard, I will always remember how Pat was so nice to me and my childrenPaul, Olivia and Ellie when we had to stay in Savannah while my husband,Tom was working. She bought crafts for the kids and made Christmas ornaments with them. Another time her and Eloise took us all to Chuck E Cheese; we all had such a good time. I think it was one of the first times my children had been there. We have such fond memories or her. I also remember she gave a bank or ceramic piece to my daughter, Olivia. She was extremely upset when her cousin broke it because the gift was from her special aunt. Pat was always so kind to call and keep up with my grandmother, her sister, Elsie Benton. Know that she did want to come to the funeral, but there was no way she could. My heart aches for you all. May you experience the peace and love of our Savior during this time. Sincerely and with much love, Carolyn Sawyer
