I worked with Pat at Kennedy, Stratford for many years. She was such a kind, loving person. She will be missed by many.

I cant remember the year I met Pat but she came into my life with a bunch of flowers to cheer me up. She gave me much more. A life long friendship filled with picnics, trips, shopping trips and lots of days of laughs. We shared a trip to Ireland and lots of funny stories there. I would get up early and sing to her to wake her up and get her out of bed. She did like to sleep. A loss would be an understatement but even with all the pain right now I wouldnt change one single minute and I would do it all again. I am happy for her because I believe she is with Dave. My faith teaches me that. No one I knew had a greater faith than Pat so I know thats true. She has her wings, she found all the malls and she knows where church is. She told me once every time you go into a new church you get a wish. Well my friend I hope you find lots of new churches and get lots of new wishes. Wait for me with a bunch of flowers and be my friend once more. I will be there. I will miss you and be ever grateful you touched my life.
