Some people leave a lasting impression, and Pat was one of them. I appreciate having known her briefly and send love to her family. Few children are fortunate enough to have been raised by hands that did so much.

My condolences to Chad, Erin and Uncle Magoo. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

My condolences on your loss, Patricia was a wonderful woman and she will be missed. Cherish the memories that you have of her and the love she brought to this world, she is alive in all of us through our thoughts.

I met Pat when I first moved to Brunswick, and we worked together at The Times Record, then Maine Times. She was so much fun to be around. I am so sorry she's gone, but I'll always think of her laughing and enjoying life.

May you find strength in the love of family and in the warm embrace of friends.

Pat was a very remarkable lady to me , she always had some words of wisedom and had a great sense of humor- she taught me the art of being a caring nurse- I will truly miss her -Pam
