Dear Dirk, Olga & Geoffrey
My deepest condolences at the loss of Patty. I went to Seton High School with Patty and during high school we were friends. Unfortunately, she and I lost contact a few years after we graduated. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this most difficult time.
Sincerely,

Dirk, I am so sorry I missed the tribute but I didn't get the message until today. I was a friend of Pat at Sodexo and than after she left. We had great conversations via e-mail about jobs, people she would have choice words about which made me laugh, and how wonderful her family is. We had some wonderful conversations about you since I am Jewish as well. I was TOTALLY shocked to hear this news. My prayers go out to you and your family. Pat was an extraordinary women with a wonderful heart and will be truly missed by me!

Dirk & Geoffrey,
Kathy and I knew Pat in the '80s from the time that we worked at PHH Group. We were shocked to hear of her passing at such a young age. You are in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.

Hello, sorry to hear of the loss of your loved one. Did Pat go to Seton High and graduate in 1972. If so, we were close friends and she was a bridesmaid in my wedding. We lost contact after high school but I thought of her often. My condolences.

Dirk, Pat and I were members of the HR team at PHH Group in the 1980's. You and your family are in my prayers and thoughts at this very difficult time.
She constantly impressed me as a great person and HR professional.

Dear Dirk and Geoffrey,
I am so sorry for your loss. You are all 3 in my prayers. I am so glad I met Pat here in Denver a few years ago and got to see her on many of her business trips. She impressed me over and over again with her grace and huge heart.

Dear Dirk and Geoffrey,
I am sorry to learn of Pat's passing.
I had the opportunity of working with Pat during her days at Sodexo.
May God provide you enough strength to face these difficult times, although no words can really help to ease the loss you bear, just know that you are very close in every thought and prayer.
