To each and every one of Aunt Pat's children, their families, friends and every one who ever had the pleasure of knowing her, I have to say that although I am saddened by her passing and I have been checking this journal each day, I am also excited to know that she is in heaven with all of those who left before her. I can only imagine the enormous celebration they are having as they welcome her into heaven and Jesus' loving arms. I am truly blessed to have had such a wonderful, loving great aunt! Although I am terrible at keeping in touch, I know my mom kept her up to date on both me and brother, Duane, and our families. I love you, Aunt Pat, and I will see you again one day. God bless all the family and friends who are saddened by her passing and I pray that we all remember the great times we were able to spend with her. God bless you all. Amy (Dykstra) Blackmon and family, Kathleen, Georgia
