I knew Ms. Pat half my life. My Daddy was very fond of her and he talked about her every phone conversation we had until he left this world last October. Ms. Pat was a rock during my Daddy's funeral, she looked after the family and when she kissed my Daddy one last time I knew she cared about him immensely and that meant the world to me.
I can remember car rides when I was little and her and Daddy teasing each other mercilessly and my goodness she always had a quick comeback. Ms. Pat meant so much to me and she was one of the strongest people I knew. I'm so sad to know I won't ever see her on the Earth again, but I rejoice that she's with her son and I don't even want to imagine the trouble she and Daddy are stirring up there.
I wish I could give words of sympathy and comfort, but I've been where you've been and I know from experience sometimes the best words are left unspoken.
