As I offer my heartfelt condolence my memory of Pat is she was so grateful for Volunteered Assisted Transportation´s service. She was so articulate and intelligent for her age! Pat was a joy and blessing to have known and develope a special friendship as I took her to several eye appointments. We had many spiritual conversations about the Lord! It´s comforting to know she has perfect eyesight in heaven now and forever!
