Tom:

I just today learned of Patrice's passing as I have been away. I never met Patrice but felt as if I knew her because of our many conversations both before and after she was diagnosed and because of the parallels between her disease and struggle with those of my Judy's. I am sure she is now in a much better place. You have my utmost sympathy. Please call upon me if there is anything I can do for you.

Dear Tom & Maxie,
I am so sorry for your loss, but I'm happy that dear Patrice is finally at rest after her long, gallant struggle. I know she's going to shake things up in Heaven and make it an even more interesting, happier place than it was before her arrival. Until we meet her there, stay strong.
Much love,
Rose

We have lost a friend that we will always love; a gracious Lady with a heart of gold. The only consolation is that she is now in Heaven unshackled from the sickness that caused her grief.

I am truly sorry for your loss. May memories of happier times help you to cope during these most difficult days. Have faith in the promise God made at Psalms 37:29 -“The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it.” His promises bring us comfort and offer us hope. They will without fail come true. I offer my sincere condolences to you all.

Patrice will be truly missed. We loved her and were honored to be considered her friend, and that she was to us, a good friend and neighbor.
She will always be in our thoughts and prayers.
With deepest sympathy, Tom, for your loss.
