Condolences to the family. So sad to learn of this. I knew Pat from NYC just prior to Byron´s birth.

Sincerest condolences to Patricia's family. May God bring you comfort during this time. Being "the Source of life" he promises to restore life to loved ones we have passed away. He is "the God of all comfort" and can help and strengthen us during difficult times. May he comfort you in his "loving arms."

Y.C.

Pat taught me to quilt 23 years ago. As a fabulous teacher she required perfection with every stitch. That class taught me well and I think of her every time I begin a new project.
She was so kind and thoughtful.
My sincere sympathy to all her family.
