Message: Pat Johnson Family;
We wanted to express our deepest sympathy in the loss of your mother, Pat. She was such a great gal and a fun one at that. We used to live in New Rockford(Duane had Arlene's Beauty Salon) in the early 70's so we got to know both your mom and dad. We bowled against them, and did we ever have a great time. I know you will miss her greatly, but the wonderful memories you must have will hopefully put smiles on your faces.
Duane & Pamela Schuler
