My heart goes out to the Fran and of course Pat's family for her loss. I well remember climbing in to the back seat of Fran's Chevie convertible over 50 years ago and meeting Pat while they took me to a baseball game. Her radiance and personality was striking to me even at the ripe age of 10 or so. She later became one of my teachers in high school. I am VERY aware of the love affair with Fran that extended close to 60 years and I am so sorry to know his heart is broken. God Bless her and shepherd over her family in this time of sorrow. Respectfully Jim, George, Fudge, Pat, Bev, and Jerry Garmong.
ReplyDeleteMy heart goes out to Fran, Children and family of Pat. I am so sorry for your loss, one that will be felt by all she touched throughout her life. I well remember meeting Pat when Fran picked me up in his black Chevie convertible to watch him play baseball when I was 10 or so. Her charm, wit, beauty and genuine gracious personality was not lost on me even at that young age. She later was one of my teachers in high school. She clearly touched the heart of many people and made a difference. Words cannot express my sorrow and sympathy for Fran, their children and family. God bless and look over her and her family as they find solace in her passing.... Jim, George, Fudge, Pat, Bev and Jerry Garmong.
