"I am remembering you and the wonderful daughter you were to your Mom. I know she is rejoicing in Heaven right now---say "I wonder what took so long?" I met your Mom at the Paramount when all of us went to see Mr. Nick in a play. This picture to the left reminds me of you. You can see her gentle spirit in those eyes. Love to all the Family.

"Aunt Pat was such a fun person to be around. As the little sister who replaced my daddy as the baby of the family, he loved her very much. We had a great time going to the Ritchey-Hughes reunion together a few years ago, and the siblings reunion in Austin is still a wonderful memory. Goodbye, Pat. Look forward to seeing you again in heaven."
