  1. I really liked dear Pat – she was a very interesting person to talk to, and I will never forget her visit here to England along with my auntie, Olive Carmichael (many years back now), when we met up with my sister Rita and went to Lingfield in Surrey to search for Pat’s English ancestors. My sister lived in that area at the time and decided to take us to the Lingfield library to make some initial enquiries, and blow me down with a feather – the library was situated in an old tudor looking house, which turned out to be the very house where her ancestor had lived!!! All the information Pat needed was within this house, and we even found the grave of the ancestor in the local churchyard! I have a souvenir tea towel with a picture of this house as it was an important part of the village in days gone by, and I believe Pat took quite a lot of photos at the time. This was one of those magical days, where the forces were all working to help us, and it is one I will never forget. So I do have some excellent memories of my short, but memorable, acquaintance with Pat Stewart – God rest her soul.
