I have so many fond memories of Pat back in the days when we were bowling and she lived on Bell Street in Point Comfort. She was such a beautiful person inside and out. I think of her often. She will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.
I loved her, she was so much fun.
I can remember a road trip with Mrs.
Valentine when I was a young girl to East Tx.
She was making my sister & I laugh so much.🤣😂
She would pass big trucks & put her bent arm out the window
& move it up & down so the truck driver would honk his horn at us.
She’s the sweetest most loving woman.
Has a beautiful smile.
She will be missed by many.❤️
All of the family is in our thoughts and prayers.
