Bill, Ami and Kelly,
I will always remember your wife and your mother's great smile and also her strength. Her personality was dynamic. Her love for her family was always apparent. She truly enjoyed her life. Her life as we knew it has ended but where she is now the life is more beautiful than we could ever imagine. Her spirit and all the beautiful memories will forever be with you.

We are so sorry to hear that Pat has passed away. We have enjoyed knowing Pat as a neighbor over these past 15 years, and will miss seeing her waving from her porch every sunny day as we drive by. Our little grand daughter shed a small tear when she heard that her friend Craig's grandma has died. That sums up how we all feel. Peace to all who knew and loved Pat.

I etched Pat's name on a rock at the ocean, but the winds took it away. then I wrote her name in the beach sands, but the waves took it out to sea, so finally I etched her name in my heart and there it will forever stay - I luv you Pat -
I'm so sorry Bill, Amie, Kelly, Lorie, Robin, Bev, and family and to those extra special friends whose names are so many too mention -

Knowing our Pat - she's probably already invited others to a huge LCR game in heaven. Hugs
