We have known Pat for over 25 years. When we came east we always met for coffee etc. I can't believe this has happened. She will be truly missed. We lost a very special person. Words cannot express the loss that we feel. If there is anything we can do for her family, please feel free to call us.

To Pat's Family: I was so sorry to read of the loss of Pat. Her brother John and I were childhood friends and Pat was always a part of that friendship. The memory of her friendship has been and always will be with me. I will keep all of you in my prayers.
