Patricia Joyce Sanger

Such a light in this world you were to me and so many others.

Dear Kari and Family,
Sorry to hear of your mom's passing. When I think of her, I have nothing but positive memories. She was a great mentor and her presence improved all aspects of school: lessons, recess duty, meetings, etc.,. Her unique sense of humor and contagious laugh, unforgettable. I can hear it now! I remember being so impressed with her travels to Australia and deciding that I must also visit, (& did!) I feel privileged to have been a colleague and friend. Pat will be missed...

Kari and Chad, I am so sorry to hear about Patti. She and I were friends for so many years and I treasure the time we spent together during my summer stays back in AG. Her generosity and compassion were boundless. I share your loss and send my love to you.

" Dear Pat, I so loved working in your classroom both as a mom, and as an assistant! Your art classes you taught were fabulous. You were an outstanding teacher, and had you taught Kelly to clean his desk, you would have accomplished the impossible. Love you Pat, Cherie
