I am one of many who was blessed to have befriended Patrice. There are a few people who come along in life about whom you can say you are a better person for knowing them. That's Patrice. Always a smile on her face. A kind supporter when you needed it most. A loving, giving heart. An inspiration to all.

Patrice - you are dearly missed, but I'm so fortunate I got the chance to be your friend. You will never be forgetten. I hope Brewster has found you and Bax.

To Wayne, Lee, Jill, Patrice's mom and all of her family - may you always feel warmed by the light of her incredibly bright spirit. May you always feel wrapped in her abundant love.
