I never met a more happy, genuine, and beautiful person than Pat (aka Mrs. Roache). Many memories of family trips, sleepovers, and plain old good times with Amy and Melissa, my dear friends. Your mom's life and heart live on in you.

Pat was terrific wife to my good friend Bob. I remember meeting Pat when Bob and I were in law school. She was such a supporter of her husband and then a fabulous mother to two fantastic girls that loved their mom. Pat was always such a delight. She was such a special lady. She will be missed on this earth but she is now in a better place.

Pat was my best friend in High School and when we went to college we drifted apart. I had wanted to rekindle our friendship but kept putting it off. I truly regret that now. She was a very special lady and I shall miss her. I share in your grief and know she is watching over you all.
