May Patricia Bense

Pat was always full of life even when she was not feeling well.
She made me feel welcome the first time I came to the Red Cap Cookies luncheon to visit.

What a privilge it was to have known Pat. She was always so pleasant and fun to be near. She will be missed.

Pat always had a smile and a kind word to say at our Red Hat luncheons. We will miss her. Sincere condolences

Please know that we are keeping all of you in our prayers. Pat was always so full of life. She was especially good to our Mom, Mary Fox.
I can just imagine their conversations in heaven.
With Sympathy,
Casey (Fox) and Tom Whelan

Kathy and Family, My sympathy and prayers are with you in this difficult time. Carolyn Alvaro, Red Hat friend

Despite her illness, Pat Bense always had words of encouragement for others. I will miss her.
