My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Pat was my friend and my sister. If I asked Pat for a favor or any kind of help I never heard no. It was not in her system to tell anyone no, she would reach out to everybody even if she knew them only for a second. I am going to truly miss my sister and our very long phone calls where we would talk about everything and laugh all day and night long. She was and will always be the best.

Crossing the Bar
Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea,
But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.
Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark;
For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crost the bar.
