[Nfbf-l] {Disarmed} Fw: [fcb-l] Patti Anne Land

[Sherri]

She and I became better friends in the last few months as well. Always were 
going to make that lunch date to"girl talk." It didn't happen. Things got in 
the way.

Yes Sherry I was extremely saddened by her passing so quickly! I know that 
she was upset with me near the end before I left due to obvious reasons that 
you know. But she was a dedicated activist and in a good woman. When she was 
at lighthouse we used to we went back-and-forth to reach other and I enjoyed 
it very much.
