It was a privilege to know Paddy (as she liked to spell her name!) for the past two years, enjoy her humor, and just to witness her strength and dignity as she did everything she could to remain independent in her everyday life. She always had a smile on her face and would always let you know unfailingly how appreciated you were to her. She will not be forgotten, and I am so glad I had the chance to cross paths with her. Will miss her very much, and send out my condolences to her family and friends.
