“Pat Grunnet was a gentle loving person, who loved teaching and caring for children. Her patience and quiet manner were qualities that made children of all ages listen attentively. She organized activities and worked behind the scenes to get so much done. Pat had been in the Peace Corps, which was special to me as I had been in the Peace Corps as well. ” - Don Beck

Letters from Pat Grunnet ” - Bob Grunnet & Don Beck

“Pat Grunnet was a family friend when my father, Ralph Prime, was a minister at the First Christian Church in Orange, CA. We moved to Stockton in 1968 and Pat came to visit us there and then moved there to teach, I believe in a south Stockton elementary school. I think I visited her there once. She was a passionate advocate for children, especially children with real need for support. It was a tragedy to lose her and to know that so many children died in Jonestown in 1978 when her core belief was justice for all children. It's been so difficult to square her deep kindness and respect for children with the horrors that happened in Guyana.” - Lynn Prime
