Chet, Wes, and Lynn.....thinking of you guys during this time. I have sooo many great memories of your mother. Growing up on Goodwin with her as a second Mom was wonderful. She was so supportive of all of the Goodwin clan and especially THE BAND!!! Heaven gained a wonderful angel. She was an angel to so many of us over the years. Peace and Love to you all. Love you!!!

It’s with a heavy heart that I say farewell to Pat. Pat welcomed me into her family with open arms from the moment I met her. We didn’t have the chance to spend a lot of time together but the time we had was special. Through hearing about the funny stories and wonderful memories she made with her family, it feels like I got to know her a lot more.
Pat, you’ll be missed but not forgotten. Rest in peace. X
