Not sure what to say?

I had the pleasure of working with Pat at Central Bank.Best memory was Pat's story of getting stopped one night after having a drink or two - the officer asked her when she had her last drink - Pat's response was "son, I haven't had my last drink". so,today I tip a glass to one of a kind, you will be missed.

Dear Swampy and Janis, Pat lives forever in my memory as friend of my Aunt Mary Alice Feasel, mom of Swampy and one who I enjoyed just sitting down and talking to for no reason! It brought a smile to my face just seeing her picture in the obit. I remember the saying may you be in heaven for 30 minutes before the devil knows you are there!!! Just like her. Know our thoughts are with you guys. Love, Joyce and Jim Russell

Dear Hollaway Family,

We were very sorry to hear of your loss. As a youngster, I clearly remember entering the cool, wood paneled and quiet main floor of the bank, and trying to be quiet myself, when Auntie Pat would stand right up behind her desk and waive me over -- with such a big greeting! So much for the quiet. We truly enjoyed her company at many family get togethers. She was a very unique person who spread laughs and cheer. You all are very much in our thoughts. Shari and...

Hi, Swampy. Your mom - WHAT a gift to us all. We (Wallace girls) will never forget the levity and love that went along with her. Who could ever forget the "pennies" story (pennies was misspelled by a Jai Alai player), and the countless hours of bridge! You, Janis and Erin were her JOY. I think about her so much - always will.
With love,
Leslie, Terry, Laurie and her NJ buddie, Del!

As they say in the movies"Thanks for the memories." As I sit here I am fondly remembering my friend, Patty B, and several special memories come to mind. I will never forget Patty B wanting to join our girls sewing circle. Pat could not even thread a needle but she came along every week with her tablecloth that she was determined to cross stitch. All of the girls took turns threading the needle for Pat. We continued to meet for several years and for several years Pat brought along that...

She was a wonderful lady. A lot of fun and a pleasure to work with.

Jim (Swampy) & Janis, I typically don't review the obits, but for some reason I did yesterday & saw that Pat had died. It brought back memories of her when Jim & I "palled around" in high school & the VW Beatle she drove & let Jimmy drive occasionally. She was the "neatest" (I'm dating myself here using that vernacular) of all moms, full of fun, piss & vinegar. You were fortunate to have her in your life all those years, Fond regards, Mickey Monchick

Dear Loved Ones,
Wow - how truly blessed we all were to have been touched by our crazy, adorable Pat. I worked with Pat many moons ago at Bank of Palm Beach and have wonderful memories of all the laughs she brought my way. I recall her at a huge bank gathering (attended by Board members and President Jake Morgan). Pat and a few of her groupies (Joy Ramirez was involved naturally) came strolling out with Pat at the lead wearing only her full slip. She would literally do ANYTHING to...
