Being the mother of all boys, she was overjoyed when her first grandchild was a girl, followed by three more girls and one grandson. She lived a blessed and beautiful life, full of adventure and lots of sparkles. Pat adored her 13 great-grandchildren with a great-great-grandson on the way, each holding a special place in her heart.
