How blessed I feel to have met you. You were a wonderful woman, so bubbly and full of energy. I will never forget the times spent at your house or our little gab fests when I would run in to you at Publix. Your personality was 2nd to none and your smile would light up a room. You will be deeply missed.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and I pray that God gives each of you the strength you need to get through this most difficult time.

With love--Elizabeth Soumaya

Our Thoughts, Hearts & Prayers are with each of you. Pat was a beautiful Lady with A+ personality, a smile that would light up the darkest room & a Laugh that was contagious. She will always be remembered. I ask God to send an Angel to walk beside you & guide you in the days ahead. God chose your Mother to be your very own Guardian Angel to watch over those she Loved.
In Deepest Sympathy & Love,

How thrilled I was to meet Ricardo/Tavi's older sister Pat, whom he greatly loved and enjoyed. I would hear him laughing on the phone with you like it was just yesterday but instead it would have been years since you'd seen one another. I could not have asked for a better sister-in-law. We will both miss you terribly. You left behind three wonderful children and two beautiful grandchildren to carry on the happy Yoder tradition.

I was thrilled to meet you the first time, and thereafter. I loved hearing Tavi laughing on the phone with you. And I remember when you and Tom came to visit us when Sam and Jacob were active two year olds and you graciously put up with their antics. We're still using your wedding gift. Just so many great memories. My favorites will always be your beautiful face, your sense of humor, your quick and ready laugh. I think of you, and I smile. I know Tavi misses you terribly.

Remembering all the love and laughs you gave me from boyhood on. I could not have asked for a better big sister.
All my love, Tavi

My thoughts and prayers are with you and the family during this time of great sadness.

I will never forget how she "cut the rug" at my wedding. She was always quick with a smile, a laugh, and a word of encouragement.

With love,
