    All the Linkletters loved your mom — and your dad and everyone else in your family. But this is about Pat. There are so many things I could say but this is what touched me the most. As my mom Joan sunk deeper into dementia, friends began to drop away. Your mom didn’t. She was the only person who continued to send cards for every birthday and holiday, and to call her, even when my mom didn’t know who she was anymore. But I saw all the cards. And sometimes I was lucky enough to be in mom’s apartment when your mom called. We had some wonderful conversations, caught up on all the “kids” and reminisced about the old days in OG. Your mom will be remembered and missed by the Linkletter clan!
