Dear Cousins, Please accept my sincere condolences on your loss. My mother is Cubby, and my husband and I accompanied Pat, Ray, Hazel, and Cubby on an Alaska cruise in the summer of 2004. We had lots of fun, and I recall how interested Pat was in the side trips. We all dined together every day, and spent most of our time taking in the beautiful views. The Indian totem poles were Pat’s favorite! May you all share in the memories of the past and be comforted by them! Sincerely, Colleen Moren
