Recognizing her long and loving presence in our Meeting, we observe and mourn the death of Patricia (Patti) Howard, who supported the initiation and life of Visalia Friends Meeting since its beginning. During her life at the Meeting, Patti blessed everyone with her cheerful, adventurous spirit and her warmth. She was an active supporter of Unity with Nature and Building & Grounds committees and shared her wonderful family with us all. She is greatly missed.
