Pat was a great friend and classmate at Van Nuys HS. I can remember hanging out in the "quad" at lunch having fun because everyone just wanted to be around her. God bless you Pat-thank you for being my friend!!

J.R. I was saddened to hear that Pat had passed away. I am so very sorry for your loss. I had that opportunity to work with Pat on two separate occasions and both times it was a pleasure working for her. She taught me so much. She will be greatly missed by all whose lives she touched.

Besides learning a lot from Pat, it was so much fun working with her. So many wonderul memories of her fill my mind - we were all like a family. So many people are saddened by her passing; and words just can't express what the heart alone is feeling.

Pat was my General Manager at the Beverly Pavilion Hotel in 1997-1998. She was a wonderful woman who was knowledgable and gifted in her chosen profession. She led by example and was an inspiration to her staff. I had tremendous admiration and affection for her, and I'm so grateful that I had the privilege of knowing her.
