To Dorian and Melvin, I just learn that Poola had passed away. Your mom and I were very good friends growing up together and working at the same place for many years together.
My dad just loved Pat. He use to say that she was a very beautiful young lady.
But as we got older we lost contact with each other. That’s how life is.
Dorian and the Clark Family are in our prayers.

To the Woods/Clark Family:
I am so sorry to hear that Poola has left this life. I remember her kind and gentle spirit. However, she didn’t bite her tongue, she said what she meant and she meant what she said. There’s an emptiness that will linger. My prayer is that God will comfort you all and fill the void with all of the precious memories that Poola has left us with. God has spoken; He does not make mistakes. May the peace of God rest and rule over your family.
