Thinking of you all - Norma, Jo, Wayne & Craig - I have lots of memories of Janet Street as I was growing up and visiting my grandmother (Vera Killick). Treasure all the memories that you have of Pat and your Dad - I went through this two years ago with my Dad and I think of him everyday. They are never forgotten - always walking with you every day. RIP Pat.
