Pat was so special to me that I thought I would share some of the notes that I have been getting…

a note from a dear friend says it beautifully..

“Vicky don’t  worry about it. We had her for awhile but in the end she went back to Phil.  And that is the way it should be. She knew we loved her with all our hearts and she knew Phil needed her.”

and another note from SuZy Murphy….

“I wondered what that noise I heard in the night was. Now I know it was Pat and Jean Hilton hooting it up in heaven. I did not have the chance to see Pat often, but I loved every chance I had. She was a delight to know and spend time with always!”

I agree SuZy!

Judy commented “she was the only one who had enough patience to teach me to needlepoint!”

Pat taught many people to stitch! I think my favorite story of teaching someone to stitch was with Dr A., a pediatrician in San Diego. He came into the shop one day and says “my wife has sticthed stocking for everyone in the family, but she doesn’t have one. I want to stitch her one” he selected a Tapestry Tent stocking and never having stitched before, Pat patiently worked with him. Well Dr. A stitched that entire stocking by himeself, on his lunch breaks and inbtween seeing his patients and without his wife every finding out. What a Christmas it was that year!

There are so many stories and even though Pat’s desire is for no services, I would love it to get together, us stitchers that knew here, celebrate her life and share tidbits about Pat! I know that she would love that.

Allot of wonderful comments were posted on Facebook and I thank you for those. I will need to share them with her daughter and Vivian…
