Dan and family of Pat Bishop, I want to say that I knew of Pat as Dan's Mom. About 6 years ago I was teaching and Pat substitutes for various teachers and I got to know her. She was a wonderful person and so positive about students. I truly am sorry for her passing,but I know that she is in heaven and watching over all of you. God Bless you all.

I am sorry to hear about Pat's passing. She was one of the best grade school teachers at Bridgewater Fontanelle. I remember when our class went to the Shrine Circus in Des Moines that at least one of her kids joined us on the trip. I was surprised about 5 years ago when Pat walked into the showroom where I work and walked right up to me and said "Hello Ronda without a H." It had been about 40 years since I had seen her! I am not sure what I did for her to remember me. She was loved by so many and will be missed. Sympathy to your family.

My deepest sympathy Dan, Chris, Marcia and Tom. Pat was a year ahead of me in school. In recent years we had visits at Wall-Mart or wherever we happened to be. She was always smiling and so upbeat and I loved her laugh. May God bless you and comfort you with good memories.
