Pat Hamilton lived in my suburb (Rivershore Estates). I swear, I can still see her face and hear her voice, when I think about her. She was always friendly and kind to me. I had a lot of problems in my family and I don't think it took Pat's wonderful mother long to figure that out. Perhaps Pat figured it out first, and told her mother. They were both so good to me, and I have never forgotten that. I didn't know Pat had passed away. This posting reminds me that goodness and kind deeds and words aren't easily forgotten. I swear this is true...I have thought of Pat Hamilton many times, over the years. Not on any regular basis, but time to time. I always remember her laughing on the school bus. How she never, ever made me feel excluded. How her mother picked up my pitiful cake for a school bake sale, and treated me with utmost graciousness.
It just goes to show that we never, ever know how we've helped, encouraged, and blessed another being in our lives. I've never forgotten Pat. And until yesterday, when I accessed this wonderful site...did I know that Pat is no longer in this world.
She was my first girlfriend and we used to listen to records after school in her basement like " I think were alone now ". We would play the record and kiss for 2 minutes, then lift up the needle and play it again. Wow! Her dad was the great voice of the Atlanta Braves Milo Hamilton. Rest well Pat and God Bless. We will be thinking about you.
I also knew Pat and her family very well. I was a teammate for years with her brother Mark. I have been to many Braves Games riding with Milo in his Taber Pontiac Firebird Courtesy Car. Pat was older, but like a big sister to me. I am sad to hear she is gone. I would have loved to see her again.

So sad to hear Pat had passed away. We were great friends in high school and I have many happy memories of the 2 of us. She will be missed.
