So sorry for your loss. He was a kind and thoughtful person. May your faith bring comfort..
Susan, and Pat’s family. Prayers and condolences to all of you. I grew up with the Garland family and have many great memories. I’m so grateful that I saw and visited with Pat about a month ago.
Dear Garland Family, I am sadden by your loss. I am grateful for Pat’s life and salute him for his military service in Vietnam. I have warm memories of Boone and Garland family outings– ice skating and picnics. I am pleased that I got to see Pat a couple years ago when he and Doug visited Des Moines. Cary Grant said it best “Don’t cry because it’s over….smile because it happened”. Blessings to you all at this sad time. Joyce
Susan, Patrick and Michael…Will always remember your Father on his frequent walks with his dear dog around Swanson Park. He would never get very far before stopping to talk with his many friends, always remembering their name…and their pet’s name. Such a delightful and warm person.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all Marilyn and Tim
