On Thursday April 17th 180 lbs of food were donated to the Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia in Memory of Patricia Parker Williams. The assortments of cans and dry goods were collected at HEWV over 40 days as a tribute to Patricia. Thanks to everyone who made a contribution on her behalf.
Dear Patricia, we remember your wonderful smile, your generosity of spirit, your natural inclination to help. It's indescribable how we miss you. Today and always.

The following links to a video Patricia's father Joseph asked me to post. I will post what I have, but since I am out of town and only have infrequent access to a computer, it may be a couple days before I can fix any errors - Kurt

We willl never forget our Sissy. She was an original. There will never be another like her. She taught us to love sweetly, kindly, gently, unselfishly; to pursue our passion; to be excellent in thought and deed; to be our greatest, as she was. I daily look at her picture at home and at work and can't believe she has left us. Such a stunnlngly beautiful young woman and with an equally beautiful soul. I will always feel honored to have been her aunt and I will spend my days hoping to be of some comfort to her dearly loved mother and father.
Here is a poem that was read at John Wayne's funeral. Joe, this is for you, as you are a devoted fan of his.

Do Not Stand at My Grave and WeepLove Always,
Mary Elizabeth Frye (1904-2004)
Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the softly falling snow.
I am the gentle showers of rain,
I am the fields of ripening grain.
I am in the morning hush,
I am in the graceful rush
Of beautiful birds in circling flight.
I am the starshine of the night.
I am in the flowers that bloom,
I am in a quiet room.
I am in the birds that sing,
I am in each lovely thing.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there--I did not die.
Auntie Rosie
