My condolences to you Bob and you wife in the loss of Pat, your Mother and my Cousin. She was a great, fun lady. We grew up spending much time together in the early years as our Father's were brothers/twins. Pat and I talked on the on the phone very often. When in the Des Moines area we would get together if possible.
