My mother, Patricia “Mrs. Pat” Burkhalter loved Thanksgiving. She made Thanksgiving her holiday with the family. And we as her four daughters made sure we showed up with dishes she liked us to cook. Mrs. Pat became ill with Alzheimer’s in 2015. She slept into eternal rest until the trumpet sounds from Heaven, the day before her favorite holiday in 2020. In honor of the delicious food, unconditional love, acceptance, laughter and fun we experienced with our family on Thanksgiving because of our mother, we have “Mrs. Pat’s Holiday Hug Banquet”.
