Both John and Pat were among my favorite patients. I was their Dental Hygienist at Dr. Gary Heller’s office in Tucker. Their son-in-law, later ex-son-in-law worked with my husband years before so that gave us a connection. They were one of the sweetest couples I’ve ever known. They cared about each other so much. John and I many deep conversations and became friends on Facebook. Pat and I talked about our children and her grandchildren. She had a special relationship with her granddaughter who lived locally and last we talked she had started college in Alabama. I miss the relationships I had with many of my patients and John and Pat were on the top of that list. Now they are with God and with each other.
She was my awesome third grade teacher. Didn’t know where she was all this time–but I never forgot her.
