Patricia E. Hance

Dear Pat, I still cherish the green M&M dispenser you gave me when we saw each other at the garage sale in Black Forest. And never forget how you picked my resume out of the many at the end of your day. Our friendship will always be with me. Someday we will meet again. John

Aunt Pat.. Its already been so long. 8 years. I miss you so much. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of you. Words can't describe the pain and how much I miss you. I still remember when you put that cardinal in my suitcase before we left your house, It means so much to me. You will always be in our hearts. I love you Auntie Pat.

Oh how I miss you Ms. Pat. I miss going into your office and laughing until we sometimes cried. I miss seeing your red Birkinstocks next to your desk and your red leather planner on your desk. I miss pushing you out of the way when you took so long at the copy machine when I needed to make copies. I will always appreciate all of the help and the patience you had with me as you walked me through the disibility process as my career at Synthes was coming to an end. A few days before you left...

Pat's humor cannot be replaced - I looked forward to her attendance at monthly meetings we attended, as I know every one of the other members of our group did.

My deepest sympathy goes to her family and all her friends - Yes, she was one of a kind.

Words cannot express the heartfelt sorrow that I have upon learning of the passing of my friend, Pat.

She was a warm and loving person, with a humor that had me laughing so many times til the tears rolled.

The world has loss a beautiful person and she will be missed by many.

I loved Pat Hance with my heart and soul..

Rest in peace, my Beautiful Friend,

Deepest sympathies to Bill and the Hance Family upon your loss.

"One of a Kind" is another phrase that comes to mind when thinking of Pat. She of good humor, a kind heart, and quick wit. You have been taken from your friends and family but we know you will continue to watch over us. You will be missed, but never forgotten.
My deepest sympathies to Bill and the Hance Family.

My deepest condolences to Bill and family. I worked with Pat for the 19 years that she was with Synthes. Although, we had a few minor disagreements because I knew she was right about something but was not what I wanted to hear, I knew that she was always there to help and get spirits back up. We had many conversations about my involvement with Pet therapy in Hospice and she was really there for me when I went through the experience of my daughter having cancer. Pat I, as everyone else, will...

Cribbage . . . books we've read . . . smoked chicken . . . drinks on the deck . . . snuggling with the dogs on the sofa . . . these are the things I remember. Nice guys are supposed to finish last, Pat, but you beat us, even though you and I are the same age at the end. Now I will have to run the course without the race. Life is short, and we had far too little time together. We must remember the laughs, the good times, but it is hard. We miss you; I will miss you. My thoughts are with Bill...

Pat, You are dearly missed, but I know that you will always be with us in our hearts and our thoughts!! I know that you would not want us to be depressed, but to always remember you the way you would have wanted us to, in the ways that you made all of us laugh, or the ways that you joked around with us to make things around the plant much more enjoyable, and the ways that you always helped in times of difficulties or the ways that you were patient with us and helped us fill out our medical...
