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

A Sacred Time The Mother lies dying Surrounded much of her waking hours By loving family; two caregivers or more. She may pass any day; It may happen months from now. It is wondrous and awful. Meanwhile, in the town where the boys Grew up, La La Land, maker Of bold dreams and great Nuclear Power Plants, The Father went to the ICU And died on the gurney Waiting to be told there was nothing Anyone could do for him anymore. He was 97 and a half joined by wife and son; Peaceful ending, really. Living on borrowed time many years. The extended family is called on the phone; Immediate family gathered at the Mom’s house To eat an odd assortment of snacks we’ll refer To as Wake Dinner And hug and cry a little and talk much, Mostly of what we are now about. What are fond memories held of Dad? First ride in a small airplane at nineteen for Pat, a plane that did loop the loops! Swept away by this handsome dude/engineer Who she stuck by 32 years, designed, built And ran The Home, filled with baked...
