I knew Pat from her time at the Scottish Rite House. She was so kind to me and to tenant, Andres Portocarrero. She always took a moment to greet us and chat in an uplifting way. She deeply understood what it meant to be "of service". We even had a few laughs with Pat. She had a lighthearted side in addition to her intensity on helping in some way. Pat is and will be sadly missed. Our sincere condolences to her family and friends and associates at the Scottish Rite House.
