    Remembering the pool parties at Aunt Pat and Uncle Marvin's house. Setting off fireworks that I brought up from Georgia. Especially remembering the times I would bring my mom to visit with Aunt Pat. There was a closeness and bond with the Fry family. May she rest in peace and her family cherish the memories.

    I have many fond memories of my sister Pat. When I was a little girl, she, Jack, and Ed used to take me out to the farm to ride their horse. Pat was a teenager at the time. When I was a teenager, I stayed overnight with Pat and Marvin when my mother was away. I had a great time. During the 2000s Pat, Jack, JoEllen, and I would often meet at the Pine Barn for lunch. Those were special times. We shared family memories. Pat enjoyed telling me stories about her grandsons. Both Pat and I worked at our Aunt Sarah's (Pentz) store when we were teenagers. We often laughed at our memories of the store and working for Aunt Sarah. Pat was always a good friend to my mother. May this special lady rest in peace.
