To the Dooley / Chafin / Brioght / Kite families:
Your mother was one of the most delightful individuals that I’ve been privildeged to know. She was such a blessing to me and my family. She was a superb conversationalist, easily able to connect with others. She was friendly, hospitable and encouraging. She was genuinely caring. We enjoyed being included on vacations to the Ozarks and to Florida, not to mention giving my husband and I a honeymoon at Lake of the Ozarks. The Flordia trips were one of the highlights of Pat’s childhood. We appreciated the childcare for Jacob when he was a babe.
Mothers are so special, and yours was one of the best. We’ll miss her warm smile and enthusaistic greetings. We are very thankful for her friendship. May God comfort y’all over the loss of her in this world.
