Don Garlits wife Pat passed away

Directly from Don Garlits:

RIP Pat..

My dear wife of nearly 61 years left this world and went over to the other...
side at 5:53 PM, this afternoon. She has been suffering a lot these last few...
days and it was a Blessing to see God take her into His care. I will miss
her very badly, but will be with her sooner than I realize, as time is very
different here that over there. She passed at home with her two Daughters at
her side and me holding her hand and a little Yorkie dog on each side of
her. She went without making a sound and this house is going to be very
quiet for a while. I had "Glenn Miller" playing in the background, as that
was her favorite "Big Band". I will let everyone know what the Arrangements
will be when I know myself. Thanks for all the Prayers and support through
this terrible ordeal.
Sincerely,
Don Garlits

my 3rd visit there was the ONLY time I didnt see and speak to Don. Lady at counter said his wife wasn't well. Don stays with her as much as he can and then she aplogised. I said no need to apologise for that. Please let her know she is in our prayers. Don loved her immensly. 2nd time I was there Don took me to the back private shop and I was laying on my back under the car (on jack stands) as he was explaning the diff on his wifes hotrod he was building her. Think it was a 40 Plymouth or Ford. I have pictures somewhere
Personally, my wife is my best friend. Id be lost without her. I cant even only imagine the loss he feels after all those years

I'm sorry to hear such sad news - I'm sure she was his rock early on and he was her rock, especially the last few years.
