Pat was one of the most generous, loving & supportive friends I ever had. Our friendship started when I was in college. My first former husband & I became friends with her and her entire family as they ran the Gulf gas station and garage just beyond Seven Points in North Florence for many years. I was able to reconnect with her about three years ago. Thanks FOREVER to Patty Gayle Helmick for moving in and lovingly caring for her mother-in-law for quite some time now.
Gary, so sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. Thoughts and prayers are with your family during this time of sorrow. Losing a loved one is never easy, but may it strengthen you some to know others share in your grief. May God comfort you now & in the days ahead.
I’m so so sorry!! She was so precious to me and I will really miss her!
Mrs. Pat Helmick is my daughters, grandmother. Kim Helmick and Judy Notariano’s daughter. Wish you could have known her.
