Shari, Sandy, Scott and families…..I was deeply saddened to learn of Aunt Pat’s passing. She and Lavern were very special to Barb and I and our kids. We often reminisced with fondness about Pat and Lavern’s visit with us in Lafayette, Louisiana many years ago and their willingness to try local foods. Aunt Pat was very helpful in identifying many Hagberg family members in a bunch of photos my mother had given me. I am comforted in knowing she is comfortable now and reunited with Lavern. I hope you and yours are also comforted knowing she is at peace and Home. With fond regards…..Gus Abel
Thank you, cousin!
