Condolences to the family of Theresa from the F.H.S. Class of 1954. Bill and I are sorry we cannot be with you today for the memorial service in Fredericton as we have a similar memorial for a dear friend at the same time. I,,actually, went to York St. School with "Pat".It was so good to get reacquainted with her at our 60th reunion last year. She will always be remembered by our class. Lois(McFarlane) Paterson
