Pat was such a voracious reader. When we spoke by phone, the topic was often what she was reading, and I remember particularly what fun she had going through the Harry Potter books. Huge as they were, I still think she devoured them. I was very fond of them too, and we had fun talking about them.
I know that she appreciated large-print books, and that our friend Beth made it a point of sending some to her when she could. I did it too, a few times, though I found them not easy to find. A little over a year ago, my husband and I moved to a retirement community where there were large-print books in abundance at their annual used-book sale, so I managed to send a small shipment to her. I am only sorry that I can't get some more to her now. I remember with affection how active her mind was -- and her imagination, and her sense of humor -- no matter how poorly she might have been feeling.
