Patrice and I knew each other for a long, LONG, time. She lived on the next strret over and we were in Girl Scouts together.  We often competed - most cookie sales, part in "Cowboy on the Moon" operetta in 6th grade. We both had our dogs. When I spoke with her about a year ago we had a nice stroll down memory lane.

 

My sincerest sympathies to her partner, family, and friends. Another friend that will be missed.

Patrice and I use to have so much fun and laugh.  I was so sorry to hear about her recently as I was wanting to connect with her after all these years.  I was so saddened that I did not try to find her sooner. 

 

God Bless,
