Hello Everyone,

I have some very, very sad news to share.  Due to a tragic accident in
their home Saturday afternoon, the daughter and grandson of Janeile
and Pat passed away.  Caylen was 31 years old and Cian, Pat's
"Beautiful Boy", who he absolutely adored was 24 weeks old.  Pat and
Janeile are devastated by their losses.

While no funeral services are planned at this time, I will keep you
posted as more information is received.  Leamon Jones will, as always,
be serving as Acting Director in Pat's absence and I will be available
during Pat's absence.

In the meantime, please keep Pat and his family in your thoughts and
prayers as they grieve the death of Caylen and Cian and attempt to
survive this very difficult tragedy that has occurred.  Below are a
couple of pictures:

While Caylen is smiling, Cian has a balled up fist and doesn't seem to
be enjoying the plane ride.

looking directly at the camera with big wide eyes.
