I am so sorry to hear about Pat. I worked with her in Accounts Payable at TWA for over 10 Years. I was Tammie Harlan at the time. I remember she gave me a newspaper article one time that was about having fun in the work place. And that it was a good thing. I think I had gotten in trouble for talking too much. I really enjoyed working with her. My thoughts and prayers are with Joely and the family.
