Patricia was my First Grade teacher at Bedford Hills Elementary School. I loved her dearly and even at that early an age she instilled in me the love of learning, reading and helping others. She was a beautiful person who inspired me more than she could know. My thoughts go out to her family at the loss of this beautiful Lady.
