We send much comfort and condolences to Pat’s family. Her loss is particularly heartbreaking to us. She was a sweet and gentle soul who taught us everything about Maine Coons which certainly changed our lives for the better. She was so giving. We would talk often about Aruba and Hawaii. She will be missed.
