From Mikki, daughter of dear friend, Adelaide:

Remembering one who brought so much beauty to the world With Deepest Sympathy

Dear Wayne,

Well, my heart is broken. Pat was such a shining light and so much fun, that every moment with her was an occasion. She was also my Mom’s dearest friend and the last link to all my happy memories of the days in La Habra and Fullerton. I remember walking into the beautiful house on Hermosa Drive and seeing an endless array of Pat’s delectable hors d’ouvres, set out on tiered serving dishes, all different, beautiful and delicious. Those would be followed by a fabulous main course, and then another stunning display of desserts…tiny eclairs, petit fours, iced cookies, Napoleons – all hand-made by Pat. She was an artist in everything she did. She wasn’t just an incredible entertainer, she was a dear friend and as beautiful on the inside as she was on the outside. She was such a comfort when my Mom died. I can’t believe I’ll never hear her voice or laugh again. Mom and I both missed her terribly when she moved to Petaluma. It just wasn’t the same knowing that Pat wasn’t in her house any more I’m still crying…I miss Pat so – I know all of you do too – please stay in touch.

- Love, Mikki

I think it was 1952 and we followed famed route 66 from New York to Fullerton. Pat saw to it that we experienced all the fun and joy of Southern California including a side trip to Mexico. I remember getting to know my cousins Ron and Wayne for the first time. Later when I graduated from college in 1961, two friends and I undertook the gr...
