Dear Randy & Koebel Family,
So very sorry for Your loss. Pat was always one of my Dad’s (William Forsyth,Jr/son of Uncle Lee’s brother, William Forsyth,Sr.)favorite cousins. She was always a favorite of mine, also. Wonderful Lady with a great disposition.
I know she will be deeply missed by family, friends, and former customers of
Koebel’s Market.
We will be thinking of You all during this most difficult time.
With Sincerest Sympathy,
Cindy(Forsyth)Rizzardi
