  1. My sincere condolences to the family. Joan was a dear friend and neighbor in Steeplechase. I am currently in South Carolina and regret that I will be unable to attend the service.

  2. To Dr. Pate and Family, So sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. The Gurskey Family

  3. Dear Sarah and Wes, My heartfelt condolences to you both and to your family members on the death of your mother. I also want to take this time to share my condolences on the passing of your father earlier this year. I did not find out about his passing in time to send any condolences. Your parents were so wonderful to me when you guys lived across the street – always so warm and welcoming. And I will never forget them taking the time to escort two adolescent girls to see Donnie Osmond in concert! Take care…will be thinking of you during this difficult time.
