My condolences to the Corbey family and to all of her friends.I have wonderful memories of Pat as a student at AHN. I was delighted when she chose to become an SNJM. Pat's gifts enriched our community as well as her friends, work colleagues and those who she accompanied as an LCSW. Her sudden, unexpected death is a great shock. I had counted on many more years to journey in this life with her.

Sister Pat was instrumental in guiding my family through one of our son's journey with cancer. She took my calls on Christmas night, she visited us on a Sunday after my son suffered a major seizure. She came to support our other sons and a family friend who had witnessed the event. She did so much for many. May perpetual light shine upon her.
