Dear Julie, Jim, Paul and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to all of you. Your mom was a great lady. Such a kind and loving soul. I have so many great memories of growing up and spending time with the Ratz family. What I remember most is the love and laughter that filled every room in the house. Your dad smoking his pipe and cracking a joke, your mom would be busy doing something in the kitchen and would come in the room and laugh, Paul and Jim would be laughing so hard they were almost crying and Julie and I would be snorting and laughing.
So many fond memories. You have such a beautiful family - hold on to all of the wonderful memories and times you had together. May God wrap His Loving Arms around all of you and hold you close. May He comfort you, give you peace and be there for you all during this difficult time. You all are in my thoughts and prayers. God’s Blessings to All of You.
With love, Shelbie
Julie, sending big hugs and love to you my friend.

What a remarkable lady who raised amazing children and was such a spectacular grandmother, and beautiful person. I only met Pat a few times but she was the type of lady you were just drawn to. She exuded kindness and warmth. I am sure that every person whose life she touched was better and brighter. My condolence to her family. The memories made with her I know will always be cherished.
