Wagoner County Republican Party Newsletter
First it is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our county treasurer Dana Patten over the weekend. We circle her family, friends and staff in our prayers during this time as we all mourn her passing and celebrate her life. The following post was put out by the Wagoner County Clerk's office:
“The Dash”
I read of a man who stood to speak, at the funeral of a friend.
He referred to the dates on his tombstone from the beginning - to the end.
He noted that first came the date of his birth and spoke of the following date with tears.
But he said what mattered most of all was the dash between the years.
For the dash represents all the time that he spent alive on earth…. and now only those who loved him know what that little line is worth.
For it matters not how much we own: the cars…the house…the cash.
What matters is how we live and love…and how we spend our dash.
So think about this long and hard…are there things you’d like to change.
For you never know how much time is left…you could be at “Dash mid range.”
If we could just slow down enough to consider what’s true and real.
And always try to understand the way other people feel.
And be less quick to anger.
And show appreciation more.
And love the people in our lives
Like we’ve never loved before.
If we treat each other with respect, and more often wear a smile….
Remembering that this special dash might only last a while.
Dana Patten, Born July 16, 1951 (Dash) Died June 27, 2021
And oh, how that dash is pregnant with a life well spent.
