Condolences from the Hundts in Eau Claire.
So sorry for your loss, Pat, Kris and family. Also sorry I never met her – fellow Pedhead and sociology major; feels like a kindred spirit. And how lucky to have her for a mother! Hope you can soon cherish many fond memories.
Thank you Jim!
My heart is heavy for the loss of your mother/grandmother. May she rest in peace.
Thank you Rosalia!
To Patrick and family – I will always remember Sarah as full of spunk, with a twinkle in her eyes. She always made me laugh! I’m grateful to have known Sarah.
Thank you Therese! Xo
Pat: Matt Zobin checking in. I’m sorry to hear about your mom. I heard that she was a fan of the Slow Pedestrians.

Thank you Karen!
Sending sympathy to the family. Sarah became a close friend to my mother when she lived at the assisted living in Bangor. If we visited mom, Sarah was usually included. Lots of fun memories.
John, my Family and I are keeping you and the rest of the Holbrook Family in our thoughts and prayers. (John 5:28,29 & Revelation 21:3,4)
