Pat made such a wonderful impression on many. Her patience and tolerance were a few of her traits that made her an outstanding, lovely lady. She was kind and always willing to help when she could. She had a wonderful sense of humor and was a lot smarter than she let on, sometimes. I could tell she loved her family by the numerous stories she shared about them. It was always a treat to share some events with her. I will sorely miss her smiles and her loving ways. It was a privilege and honor to have known this special lady.

To My Great Aunt Patty, Oh' how I wish I could hear your laugh just one more time. The laugh I speak of had 3 parts to it; one part jolly, two part chuckley and three part lovely. Noone could ever speak it again,nor could they speak of your stories of majestic knowlegde of our family. Life will carry on,but just won't have the same magic that you put in it. My heart hurts. Love You,,Heather and Makenna

Pat always greeted me with a smile. I think it showed the joy she had in life and its living. In doing so she put a little of that joy in my life. Thanks Pat, I was privileged to know you. May God rest your soul.
