I still remember all of our good times together. Whether it was a day at the lake or cleaning house and doing the laundry. It seemed we were more sister to sister than sister in law. You always had a welcome at the door.

I just want the family to know I´ve not forgotten you just because your mother, sister, or friend is gone from view. She lives on through her children and her grandchildren. I know Kacy deeply misses her as do all I mentioned. I myself spent many years with her when her children were young. I left a mark on Angela with our lil skits or garage plays and spending many weekends with her and Kevin. I loved all her children, but I graduated from Marshall and headed home to teach Kindergarten, so Jason missed out on the fun and craziness of his Aunt Peggy. His dad´s youngest sister. I loved Pat like a sister and spent nearly every weekend at her home. She had the best personality and so easy to get along with. Kacy and Emmitt will carry on the family line while her children will see she´s never forgotten.
Love & prayers to all who love and miss her.
Peggy Ward Patrick and husband Roy who loved her, too.

The news of Pat's passing absolutely stuns me. I lived a few houses from Pat during our high school years and dated her during the 1965-1966 school year. I was thinking of her just this past week, wondering where she was and what she was doing. She was a lovely young lady who was loved by so many. Many of the kids that grew up with Pat will be as stunned as was I, and just as hurt upon learning about her passing. God Bless her immediate and extended family.

Your kindness to Roy and I, nearly every weekend while attending Marshall University has never been forgotten. May your light continue to shine for others to follow. To your children and grand children I leave you with these verses," Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." & John 14:16 "And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever."

I'm sad to learn of Pat's passing. She and I spent that 20 yrs together at Hempstead. She was a great nurse and director. She believed in her staff and most importantly wanted excellent patient care. We had many fun times together and stood together through the good and bad with laughter and tears at times. My nick name she gave me was Larr what's going on. Several of us had a great bond together and she was one. I truly know she loved her family and I experienced that as her daughter getting married and her 2 sons growing up and maturing to men. Her love was unconditional and she would share her last dime with anyone that needed it. Also Tony may you know her love for you was great. May she rest in peace in the presence of our Lord and savior Jesus. My love and prayers to each one.
