Once in an age, God sends to some of us, someone who loves us, looking through all our human imperfections, loves in us the divine ideal of our nature. We call this rarest of persons, who loves us not alone with emotion, but with understanding--A Friend.

Writer Dinah Craik has said: Oh, the    comfort--the    inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, Having neither to weigh thoughts, Nor measure words--but pouring them All right out--just as they are--Chaff and grain together-- Certain that a faithful hand will Take and sift them--     Keep what is worth keeping--And with the breath of kindness Blow the rest away.

This was Pat's gift to us.
