[NFBMO] Patricia Morrow

[Gary Wunder]

This is a good reminder that we should do caroling in the chapter, and
having a song in her honor strikes my heart.

Patricia always loved when the Columbia chapter would come to her
house and carol.  She gave us cookies and welcomed us into her home.
I wish I knew her back when before I joined the affiliate.  She always
seemed like a cool person.  I'm so sorry she is gone.  The Columbia
chapter should sing a special carol in her memory this year.
