Always remember Pat being such a classy and sweet lady. A true beautiful person and I see that so much in Lorie as well. Always enjoyed any time spent with them @ family gatherings in the old days. I remember going to their house in Allerton with the folks. Heaven gained a special angel.
Growing up, when there was to be a Watson family gathering, I would always ask my dad or mom if Aunt Pat and Uncle George were coming. I was always excited if they were and disappointed if they were not. I loved being around them. Always kind and caring and a wonderful influence on me. Though ill at the time, a few years ago Aunt Pat was able to make a trip to Richards and I got to see her. She was still Aunt Pat, and I introduced her to my wife Dottie, who was immediately taken with her. Dottie later expressed to me how she understood my feelings about 'Aunt Pat'. I know the Lorie and Marla and Stanley and their families miss her terribly. I wish you the comfort of knowing that she is in good hands.
I fondly remember Pat sharing her applebutter when I was her neighbor in Allerton. Loved her soft sweet southern accent. Pat and George were both wonderful people and raised kind kids just like them. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
My mother and Patsy were very good friends for many years. Our families got together to share good times and good food. Patsy would share recipes with my mother and one of them became a staple in our house. 'Hemenway Casserole' was always one of our favorites. I can also remember eating several meals at her home with her family. That is the first place that I ever ate black-eyed peas and the first place I ever heard of okra. I will miss her smile and her Texas accent. It was always an interesting time when we went to the Hemenways for a visit.
Lori, Stan and Marla And all the family, Warren and I have you in our prayers at this very difficult time. Aunt Pat was such a sweet lady always thinking of others. I will always remember her bringing over some homemade cinnamon rolls to Warren and I. Wow they were the best I ever had.And she bake a whole pan full. She left some precious memories with us. Love you all Warren , June and Family
