We are going to sorely miss your gracious and unpretentious personality. You were one "special" lady ... always positive, friendly and full of life. Your passion & devotion to all those you loved,(animals included) was genuine & sincere. Your gentle demeanor to life was refreshing. We got the biggest kick out of your sense of humor and joy for the "corny" style jokes. What a pleasure it was to know and love you Pat. Enjoy the rest & peace of heaven.

So many childhood memories with Pat; Frog Hunting at night, swimming in the Do Boy all summer, tanning covered in baby oil & iodine, Christmas Caroling and I will never forget "Jaws". I don't think any of us went in the ocean that year! I also enjoyed all the later years of visiting time, talks & drinks. I will miss Aunt Pat very much. She will be in my heart forever.
