2. I have lost four special people in my life in a matter of three months, a Friend, Carroll, an Uncle and now Pat.
   This has been a hard three months. It’s the hardest with Pat.
   I have worked for Pat & Carroll for many years. (As I work with her daughter’s Holly and Minnie too.) They became grandparents to me that I didn’t have because I lost three when I was young and one lives 1500 miles away. It is so hard to see someone leave us that has meant so much to us in our lives. They were such a joy to be with. I remember the talks we’d have. Carroll would talk about his times in the war, all the places him and Pat had been. They’d tell me funny things and the three of us would laugh. He’d pick on Pat and laugh, get us to laughing. They were so much in love. The presents of that love was so strong for eachother you could not just see it, you could feel it. You could see it in their eyes when they looked at eachother. It was so precious to see this. Everyday was something different to look foward to. They’d take me to lunch but not once would they let me buy even if I acted like I was mad. Once I took the bill Carroll went right to cash register and paid. I’d make them lunches at home, we’d have fun talking and laughing. They have so much talent, so wise in there years, so loving, so thoughtful for others, so many percious things about them. When I walked through the door Carroll and Pat always had a smiling face and a good morning for me. It always maded my day worth being there. If Carroll wasn’t there he’d come with coffee and pour the three of us a cup and we’d sit and drink our coffee and talk but I always listen to them because it was worth so much more just to hear their life stories and I’d always ask them questions on what they talked about. I could have sat there for hours just to hear more but there were others days to learn more. They were precious times and always will be for me. When Carroll got real bad he knew I was there and he reach out his hand for me and even give me that smile of his. It was hard for him to talk but I tried to understand what he wanted and times I did figure it out. It was so hard for me to see him this way. My most precious times were my talks with Pat. We could talk about anything and everything. She has helped me to understand so much in life and to understand things in different views. I enjoyed every minute with her I had. She’d make me sit and talk with her numbers of times in the day when I was there working and I felt I should be working instead of sitting. But I realized that is what she wanted most and I didn’t feel bad any more for I enjoyed just being there for her. She understood so much in life and she enjoyed her life and she’s done so much. And I’m sure there was more things that she wanted to do. She amazed me. She was so proud and so strong. She knew what she wanted and how she wanted it done and every step of the way she taught me. Sometimes it was hard but she’d pull me through and tell me “see Sheena you can do it.” She never gave up on me. She taught me so good that she couldn’t keep up with me and told me “I had to slow down, I was driving her crazy” then we’d laugh. I’d go around the house working and times I’d sing while working and there were times she’d join in and we’d sing Amazing Grace and Precious Memories. She had such a beautiul voice. Pat loved poems and she’d write down things that come to mind once in a while she’d find them when we’d do filing at the house and she’d read them to me. She should have wrote a book, she was amazing with her words. There’s so many things I could say but I’d be here for ever. But a lot of things we’ve talked about are only precious to her and I. And will remain that way. I’ll miss these precious time that she has bestold in my mind and in my heart. She has become the Friend and the Grandmother that every person in their life needs as for Carroll the Friend and Grandfather too. We have lost Two Precious Loved ones in such a short time and far too soon. They have gone to meet their maker and he has not aloud them to suffer no more. Carroll has called his precious Sweet Patty to him and she has gone to the only love she has ever known. They are together once more where they will look down from the clouds and BE PROUD of all that they have accomplished, all the love and kindness that they have gave, all the their wisdom and advice they have gave to all and most of all, all their love and how proud they are of their children for all their days that they have lived on this earth. She always told me that she loved me and I was her friend and I always told her the same. I will truly missed and cherished this precious and lovely woman that has come into my life. I will always have these precious memories and always have her in my mind and heart. I miss you Pat and I love you so. So I leave this poem:
   GOD SAW YOU GETTING WEARY,
   SO HE DID WHAT HE THOUGHT BEST.
   HE CAME AND STOOD BESIDE YOU,
   AND HE WHISPERED “COME TO REST.”
   YOU BADE US NOT YOUR LAST FAREWELL,
   NOT EVEN SAID GOOD-BYE.
   YOU WERE GONE BEFORE WE KNEW IT.
   AND ONLY GOD KNOWS WHY.
   YOUR MEMORY IS OURS TO KEEP,
   WITH THAT WE CANNOT PART.
   GOD HAS YOU IN HIS KEEPSAKE,
   WE HAVE YOU IN OUR HEARTS.
   Amen
   I’ll aways remember you, Pat.

3. Dear Haines Family
   We are saddened to hear of Pat’s passing. I am so glad Minnie asked me in to say Hi to Mom. Pat called me by name and we talked for a short time.
   Dolores, Beverly and now Pat all together cousins in heaven.
