  9. I am happy to know that my grandmother from another morther has gone home to be with her family and friends in heaven! Since 1995 Pat has cared for me as her own grandson! I have many fond memories, but to share a few!!!! 1. One summer she toke Lil John, 4 of my siblings and I to the pool in her blue van! The ride to and from was just as, if not more fun then the pool itself! (Showing her love for other) 2. Pat dropped John and I off to hunting not expecting John to kill a buck. When she returned to pick us up and to her surprise, happiness(for John) but more importantly her nervousness about how and what we were to do with the buck. She still showed her love regardless of the consequence. 3. While I was in High School, Pat made sure during lunchtime that I along with everyone else had more than enough to eat regardless of monetary value we did or didn’t have! Unconditional love and care for other! 4. Being the last living grandparent I had, she was the only one to see my only child. Again the love she showed to him and the happiness her and I shared during that moment is unexplainable! My Grandmother Pat will never be gone b/c her love endurth forever! Thank you John for sharing our Grandma!! Love always and for ever!!! Ricky Mills Jr
