I am so sorry that this is so late.  I somehow missed seeing that Pat passed.  I miss all of our large Hart reunions.  I really see the Hart side in this pic of Pat.  Prayers to all. 
In case not of all of you know/remember me:  My Mom (Jean Griest) and Pat were cousins.  That is two cousins in April as Shirley (Aunt Dot’s oldest daughter) also passed. 
Love, Jackie
