Dear Brenda,
Our thoughts and prayers go out to you now. Pat was always kind and supportive, no matter where our lives led us. From his good humor, to his skillful hand at cribbage, to his steadfast love for you, we will miss him.

Grandma Brenda, I want you to know I am so sorry. I wish I could have been there with you this last week. I know this is a difficult and trying time, but know you have family that loves you and is praying for you. Love is an infinite thing; the way you and grandpa loved each other was nothing less than that. Grandpa is a wonderful man, I will be praying for our family. I love you both, infinitely.
Love, Your grandaughter Amanda Curtis (Ford)
