Forget Me Not; Patricia Ann Brock Smith, 2010 MS

Pat was a wonderful lady. We corresponded and I was lucky to have the opportunity t meet her. She was kind and helpful. She was never too busy to share family information with me. She prepared a delicious lunch for my family & myself when we were visiting. We have special memories of this lovely lady.
