Patricia Cavanaugh

This was a most beautiful tribute to a wonderful person. It's evident that same vivacious spirit, kindness and good will I remember from our childhood stayed with her thoughout her life. She touched so many of us with her life, but the blessing is that we all have memories to keep her close to us. Mike, Dan and cousins, may our precious Lord engulf you with His consolation and peace.

I did not know Pat, but after reading her obituary, I wish I had - and felt compelled to sign her guest book. That was just the most beautiful and amazing tribute to someone that I have ever read...so vivid and moving.

Dan, I also know what it's like to lose a mom way too soon. It sounds like she was an incredible woman...a true gift to the world. May you find comfort in your special memories of your mother.

and for a brief...

I am heartbroken for all us of who will no longer be graced with Pat's presence. It's amazing to me that in the short time that I knew her she had such a profound impact on me. I know that I am a better person from having spent time in her presence. Through my sadness I will attempt to celebrate her passing into a place where her kind spirit can dance and smile on us all. After all, I think that's what she'd want.

Pat was an amazing woman. Her leadership in hospice and her broad knowledge of complex health care management issues will be greatly missed. More importantly, however, we will miss her passion for life, and her compassion for others. I always knew that whenever I saw Pat, I would feel better about the day!

My husband and I loved her and will miss her.

To Pat's family,

I was so sorry to read of Pat's death. I worked here at the VNA & Hospice of Cooley Dickinson with her.
She was a wonderful and compasionate person who will be missed by many people she came in contact with. I feel fortunate to have known her.
