My thoughts and prayers are with Pat's family. Was lucky to know Pat from 1st Lutheran and to volunteer with her in Hospice and Operation Hope. She was a special person who wanted to give back to others.

Sweet Sweet Pat, you gave of yourself to those at Operation Hope. We just have to believe that now you are embraced by the One who sent you to the shelter. A reunion, for sure. We will miss you.

I want to let you know how wonderful I feel your mom and grandma was. I worked with Pat at Operation Hope homeless shelter as volunteers. I can see her smile as I think about her. She did such a fantastic job as meal coordinator that I was so worried when she moved that we could never replace her. Pat was a warm and lovely person and I know her spirit will live on in the lives of those she touched. Lori Conk, Oceanside, CA

I had the privelege of knowing Pat for only a little over a year when I joined the volunteers working with Operation H.O.P.E., Vista's cold-weather shelter for homeless women and families. Pat had the VERY challenging task of organizing the evening meals made by a wide variety of organizations for the entire four month shelter season. She did it well with patience, diligence, humor, and a caring heart. We all certainly missed her when she moved and she has often been mentioned in our meetings, so I can only imagine how she is missed by her family. My thoughts and sympathy are with you.

Pat and her late husband, Harry, lived next door to my parents (Robert and Roberta Sloop) in the late 60's and 70's. Pat actually had lived next to us with her children before that time, and it was my father who introduced Harry to her. Pat's younger son, Eric, babysat my youngest daughter, and I worked with Gayle at Pacific Telephone in Escondido. My sister JoAnn (Sloop) Crisp and I send our condolences to all the family. With loving thoughts, MaryAnn (Sloop) Dixon

Pat was so caring of others. Having her on the Team from FIRST Lutheran in Vista, CA to rebuild after hurricane Katrina will always be
a special memory for me! Kathy Leech
