Mrs. Biloz was always around to give me a sarcastic joke whenever we had a chance to talk about current events. She was always a joy and she will be missed!

The loss of a loved one is always hard. I hope knowing your mom is painless and free now brings you comfort. I really enjoyed the time I spent with both your parents in Ft. Myers. Their spirits are now dancing together again. Praying that love, joy for celebration of Pat's life, and that she brought a Fabulous Daughter and Sons into this world brings you peace. Sending much love and hugs to all from Texas.

I am so sorry to hear of my aunt's passing. She was very special to me as was her husband, Uncle Mike. May she rest in peace.

Pat Biloz was a bright spot in the lives of all who knew her. I remember so well the way she cared for me as a person, not just a name on a list of kids. I have recently tried to find her to say thank you for the impact she had on my life, and am sad that I didn't get that done. God bless her family as they cherish her memory. A grateful student, Doug Nault
