COUSIN PAT

  I've been thinking about my cousin Pat since she passed away. This is very hard for me to write about because she was such a dear friend. The smile on her face existed forever. Such a kind and giving person. We used to share through email the books we were reading, life in our world as she lived in Iowa, me in Maine and communicated family events that were occurring.  When we were little we were flower girls in her wedding, loving every minute, showing off our fancy dresses and felt so important. She has been a forever friend and always sought out ways to get together.   I only hope you can hear me.   I MISS YOU, Pat!
