I am so sorry to hear of Pat's death. My parents knew Pat and Earle during their long friendship with the Cannistraros, and I later reconnected with Pat through the Cohasset Garden Club. We also enjoyed sharing memories of growing up in Rhode Island. Pat was such a wonderful and talented woman, always ready to share her skills and her lovely home with her fellow Garden Club members. She was a real life long learner too- I was always impressed with her commitment to courses through the Federated programs and her desire to keep up with what was happening in conservation and other topics. Pat was such a lovely, generous and talented woman and gardener. I will miss seeing her and learning from her. My deepest condolences to all her family. -- Debbie Shadd

To all the Michaud family,
So very sorry to hear about your loss of your mother someone I knew since I was the age of 5. She was an amazing woman in so many respects. Her love of gardening, and talent for it, were legendary. My condolences to you all.

Dear Michaud family,
Both Julie and I are so very sorry for the loss of your mom. With over 60 years of great memories we will certainly miss her.

I am certain she is with your dad and their beloved German Shepherd’s up in the “Sky Nest”

May she rest in peace and know how well loved she was.

Sadly,
Brad and Julie
