Pat Mikosz 1931 - 2014 There was a strange but lovely gesture from a friend and fellow Thespian, Pat Mikosz of Flookburgh For her funeral service Pat had requested that, instead of the usual church music whilst waiting for her coffin to arrive in Church, show songs should be played. She had also requested that, if the congregation felt like singing along, tapping their feet or dancing in the aisles, then to do so. We thought that one of her favourite shows must have been Fiddler On the Roof as the whole score was played before, during and after the service and, on the strength of that music, we sold tickets for our performance of Fiddler on the Roof in September. It was a great send off for a highly respected and well liked person. Her gesture gave us a lot of free publicity. ‘There’s No Business Like Show Business ‘was the final tune as the congregation followed her to the churchyard. She’s probably up with the angels forming yet another musical society .
