So sorry to hear that my beautiful, fun-loving, energetic friend from the 80's in Valparaiso, IN, has passed away. I knew Pat and Scott back when. We had a group of girls that ran and played had so much fun together. She and Scott even stood up when I got married the 2nd time! Those were some good times, and she was always ready to go! When I moved away, we tried to keep in touch. She loved her kids and grandkids, even sent some pictures sometimes. I know she is happy now in a better place. I am older than she was, and may get to see her pretty soon. I hope so. My sincere condolences to Scott and her family. -Gaytha Vail
