It has been a year since Pat left us to go be in Heaven. I "inherited" some of Pat's patients, and we continue to keep her memory alive in our discussions, thoughts, and prayers. Her "people" have all done well...I know Pat watches over them and is smiling at some of our incredible successes. To her family: I send you love & prayers today and always...Blessings, Maureen McLaughlin, Dipl. Ac., NCCAOM

I knew Mrs. Pat for the last 25 years. Her daughter and I are best friends. To me she was like a mother figure. I love her and her family so much. She will be truly missed.

I feel so blessed to have had the opportunity know Pat. Her wonderful spirit and kind heart have left lasting impression on my soul. She will truly be missed. My hopes are that her family will take solace in knowing that she was a remarkable and amazing person who will always have a special place in my heart.

Oh, the comfort. . . the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person. Having neither to weigh thought nor measure words, but pouring them all right out just as they are, chaff and grain together, certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping and with a breath of kindness, blow the rest away.
This is how it felt with Pat, her kind and gentle spirit, her laughter, I always felt safe. It is an honor and a blessing to call her my friend. My thoughts and prayers continue for Ned and family.

I met Pat a couple of months ago, while looking for an Acupuncturist. After our first session I felt so excited and blessed to be led to such a wonderful, talented and caring person. She made quite a difference in my life in a very short time. I can only imagine how warmly she touched the hearts of those who have known her much longer. I am grateful to have connected with her.
Sending love, light and peace to her friends and family,

I just returned last nite from vacation to open my mail and learn of Pat's sudden passing. My heart is very heavy and reaches out to her family and loved ones. She was an incredible life force and touched my life in a remarkable way. She will always be in my heart - I will miss her incredible hugs. Many prayers to her family and friends - she would not want us to mourn - she would want us to rejoice.....

I was shocked to hear the news of Patricia's passing, especially since I recently had seen her. She helped me through a difficult pregnancy, and she was there for me the whole nine months. With her help I was able to deliver with no complications. Beyond that, Patricia was a true healer. My deepest condolences to her family.

I went to Patricia for acupuncture treatments for a short time a few years back and I just wanted to comment on how kind and caring she was during those sessions. I was very sorry to hear of her passing and my sincere condolences to her family.

Ebs, Angela, Ned, and Kyle,
Thinking about you today and wishing I was there, but I haven't really the words to express my condolence. I will miss Pat and remember her as a mother, wife, and healer, and as someone who really helped me grow up. I love you all.

My most heart-felt condolences to Patricia's family. Pat helped me via acupuncture to have the most precious gift of having a baby for which I will forever be grateful. I feel extremely privileged to have known and been treated by such a fun, wonderful, caring and compassionate person. She will be greatly missed.

My deepest sympathy to your family. I had recently begun seeing Pat as my acupuncturist. I was looking forward to establishing a long relationship with her. Her warmth and caring touched me deeply, and it was obvious she was gifted and wise. She spoke of her family often. I am so sorry for your loss!

Ned, Angela, and Elizabeth -
Words cannot express how truly saddened I am by Pat's passing. In addition to knowing her first and foremost as Elizabeth and Angela's mother, I was also lucky enough to do an acupuncture session with her, complete with a simple but amazing bit of massage therapy thrown in free of charge. She loved my tattoo; I loved how she set me at ease and took care of me. She was a generous and kind-hearted woman, free spirited and joyful. I will always remember her laughing and enjoying life, as few people take the time to do. My sincerest condolences on your loss.

Patricia was an acupuncture colleague of mine. She did great work. She had a unique combination of sharp intelligence and huge compassion. I did not know Pat well outside of professionally, but I do know that her family, her husband and daughters, and her patients were her world.
She mentioned all of you frequently when I would run into her at Continuing Ed, etc. This is a huge loss to her family, friends, and patients. I feel Patricia's spirituality around us all still. God Bless You, Maureen McLaughlin, Dipl. Ac., NCCAOM

The last time I saw Elizabeth's mom, we were eating cake and toasting the graduations of her daughters at a party this summer - an image that I think sums up Pat, who was always up for some snacks, drinks and fun, especially when it involved the two girls she raised to be the remarkable young women they are today. Her love of life, quest for fun and laughter and values of peace and justice in the world are certainly things that live on in her family. She was truly a unique individual who will be very missed.

Elizabeth and Ned, please accept our condolences. We've been thinking of you and wish you the best in this difficult time.
I only had the privilege of meeting Pat a few times, but on one lucky occasion that meeting included her hospitality and homemade oatmeal cookies (yum). I remember leaving with you and Devin feeling much better than before we arrived. -justin

Pat was my miracle worker and my heart is broken at the loss of such an amazing woman. Without Pat's skill and help, my pregnancy would never have made it to full term and my miracle son would not be a part of my life today. Pat's smile, laughter, love & friendship will be missed deeply. I have attached a photo of Pat meeting my son for the first time...Oh what joy we shared that day!
My heartfelt sympathies to her family and all who loved her.
January 5, 2010
Elizabeth,
Our prayers are with you and your family. We know this is a very difficult time for you and your family. She was a very special person in your life. If we can help you in any way, please let us know.

OMG - I can't believe this has happened to someone who spent her life helping others, including me. I feel so adrift that I can't imagine what all of you are going through and the suddenness of this is mind boggling. Pat and I talked about life after death many times, which we both believed in. I am positive she is watching out for all of you and smiling that special smile of hers. Nothing I can say will make you feel better right now. Just know that she was one special lady who will be tremendously missed.

Pat was truly a beautiful soul. She helped me immesurably as a patient, and as a friend. I truly believe that I owe Pat for the miracle of motherhood. She supported me during my entire pregnancy and I will feel her absence for the rest of my life. She brought joy and hope to everyone she touched!

Hello,

Patricia often attended our seminars and I remember her well. She was a very intelligent woman and also a very kind person.
I would like to offer our sympathy at this time and to say that her good works will live on. May she continue to reap the benefits of her good karma.
