Luke, Your grandmother was a very special woman. It was a pleasure to play bridge with her for many years. She had a wit I hope you learned to appreciate. She was kind and generous. Remember her always.
My first job was watching and entertaining Scott and Chris while their parents worked and played. Pat was a strong but gentle sole. You made a difference in many lives. Rest in peace. Maleta Johnson Mangan
