I have a vivid memory of Pat as a young 20 something living in her own apartment, hosting her little sister Rosemary and me.
We were just in middle school, but Pat was the cool grownup who took us ice skating and let us spend the night. She was such a sweet, loving lady. I know she is missed.

I was Pat's student teacher in Jefferson County, Kentucky. I have already written. I can't believe it has been a year since her passing. She is Heaven looking down at all her friends--I am glad I was one of them. Rest in peace.

I am so sorry you have lost your dear sister Pat.
I wish I could give you a big hug right now, but I will save it till I see you.

I was Pat's student teacher supervisor many years ago. She was a great teacher winning "Teacher of the Year". I remember that she did a unit on "Farm" and we made butter by shaking cream in a jar. We ate the butter on crackers and the students loved it and HER. I also remembered that she talked about her family, brother Tommy. She loved her family very much. I will not be able to come to the service. She is out of pain and in Heaven with her LORD and Savior.
