To all of your family, I send sincere prayers for your peace and consolation. Pat's death came as a huge surprise as I did not know she had cancer. It was a privilege to attend her wake and funeral service as you could feel the love and devotion of her family and friends. June did something many "big sisters" could never do---speak the eulogy at the funeral service, but she did it incredibly well. My heart breaks for her children and grandchildren, but the "Lasso the Moon" song and prayer will linger in my heart as well. Beth sang it with such heart. Prayerfully yours, Sally Tavenner
