If you wanted a true friend it was Pat. She would be there for you no matter what, good, bad and all the in between. Even when Pat moved out to AZ she was just a phone call away.
I am so blessed to have known Pat since I was 17 we go back many decades. I remember when we went into the candle making business for a period of time. Boy did we make some candles and boy boy did we make a mess of her kitchen. But did have fun too. A wonderful memory for me.
Pat helped everyone, family friends, friends of friends and strangers too. If they needed help she gave it without expecting a thank you. She knew when others were down. Pat just automatically gave and gave. It could be food, it could be clothes, it could be a roof over their heads, it ould be advice, whatever you needed she gave you. I know God knows she gave from the heart.
Pat will be missed by so many. Pat was one of a kind, she was a gem. Gems are keepers and I am proud to have had her as my dear friend.
Pat always tried to instill only good into others and to teach us all right from wrong and to be strong. Pat made us all stronger than we would have been if we had not known her. Thank you Pat, I love you and miss you. You made 3 beautiful children that I love too.
God Bless you Pat!

Gina,
I am very sorry for your loss. I lost my mom almost 3 years ago and it is very difficult but knowing that she is my angel watching over my son and I makes it a little easier. Whenever you feel like breaking down just know that your mother is forever watching over you and your family and no one can take that away...

Gran was a true friend to me she was like a mother to me because she was always there for me and she was funny at times. I loved her jokes and everything. I called her May May and I never forgotten her. I felt like she was there for me and God bless her. God will always be with her I listened to her stories and we had good times and bad times and Gran will always be with us in our hearts. She will always be remembered forever.
