"To a very special family, So many precious memories I have growing up with your family! I recall in the blizzards of '77 what an awesome driver Pat was. He and LaRita taking me home after staying a few nights at your house, it was an eventful ride but we made it safely. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. Your all very special to me and a tower of strength! With love, Darlene Kiesling"
