Pat Golden

Mother, Nana, loving wife, dear friend, Caring, loving, giving are just a few words that describe my Mom, Pat Golden.

She was the most giving person I have ever known even right up to her passing on 12/14/09. Even though she knew her body was damaged, tired, and worn out she said let them use whatever they can to help someone else.

Because of her donating her eyes 2 people they now have restored sight. What a beautiful legacy she has left and passed on to all of us with her unselfish love. I will carry on this legacy for you and for your grandchildren.

I will love you forever,
Debbie Lang

Fowlerville, MI
