Pat was such a wonderful mother & grandmother- she made me feel like one of her own whenever I had the pleasure of her company. I loved her easy laugh and admired her unconditional love for her family. Your family was so blessed by her many years of devotion to you all, I can only begin to imagine the void she has left behind. I have faith that she will never be far from you. I hope you will sense her presence, hear her wisdom, feel her love just when you need it most. Wishing you all comfort during this difficulty time.

Pat was a great gal and a caring person. She was always ready to lend a hand to those in need; whether it was helping in the yard, cooking a great meal, doing the dishes, thinking things through, or just listening. Pat will be missed. She knew how to have a good time, and how to make lemonade from lemons. She had a great laugh, and she will be missed. My heartfelt condolences to the family.

Don, Paul & Kim,
I wish I had some words of wisdom for you having gone through this six years ago. Please know that some of the best memories I have of my childhood were spent with your family and your wife and mom. She will never be forgotten. She was one of the best people I have ever known, and I will always remember her. I am thinking of you all and hoping that's she is with my Dad right now. Love to you all.

Aunt Pat,
I miss you so much. I have so many fond memories of great times with you. (Beach trips, learning to shell, shopping, school activities, my wedding, and more) You were the one person I knew would listen to what ever gibberish was coming out of my mouth even at an early age, and then make since of it! I love you for your sweet touch and your loving heart. Our family, lost a true gem this week.
Uncle Don, Paul and Kim, I am thinking of you and praying that you will find peace in your hearts. I love you!
