I remember Pat, Murray and Patsy from my days in Holstein. She was always welcoming when Des and I were hanging out and going about our adventures. Always a smile and a wave when she saw us walking to school. As a young girl I thought she was very beautiful and loved her infectious smile. She will be missed by her loving family.

— Isobel Morrison, July 18, 2022I knew Aunt Pat and Uncle Murray all my life. They were like two peas in a pod; always together, holding hands, a wonderful couple. I remember when Uncle Murray would tell a story, always with a cigarette in hand. I would watch his hand as there would be about two inches of ash hanging off the end. So many good memories of an incredible couple.
Sincere sympathy to the family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. We remember fondly our visits with Murray & Pat during our ministry at Trinity United Church in Holstein. Rev. Russell & Marilyn Rogers
