    I remember Pat and her husband at the time, Dick, coming over to play cards and games with my parents always lot in the late ’70s. Then it meant that my brother, Keith, and I got to play with Marty & Crissy. Now, looking back on it, it means there was quite a bit of laughter and love whenever she was around. She had a great laugh.
