> Dear Loved Ones and Friends of Patricia Dawn Mason Beattie - It 
is my sad
> duty to inform you that our common loved one passed away this 
morning at
> 2:15 AM at INOVA Alexandria Hospital.  She passed peacefully 
with Kirsten
> and me beside her.  At this time, we are in the process of 
planning her
> funeral/memorial arrangements.  We will be certain to notify you 
when that
> is done.

> We remain eternally appreciative for the many expressions of 
love to our
> family during this difficult time as we all remember this giant 
of a woman
> who accomplished so much for so many other people during her 73 
years on
> this Earth.  She also leaves behind the wonderful woman who 
became my
> wife,
> two grandchildren (Isaac and Phyllis), four sisters, a host of 
other
> relatives, and many friends and colleagues who have worked with 
her to
> make
> this world a better place - particularly for those with low 
vision or who
> are blind.

> We continue to cherish and solicit your prayers during these 
days to come.

> Sincerely,
> Glenn Weeks
> Pat's son-in-law
