We were so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow. Witt Buick

Patsi was such a wonderful aunt to me, always so sweet and kind. She was also very kind to my Dad and visited him often, putting her own suffering aside. She was a graceful, positive light no matter what darkness she faced. She will be missed dearly by her family and all those who were lucky enough to have encountered her in their lives.

Pat and I met as preschool teachers. Even though I haven't seen Pat in years, I will always remember her smile, soft spoken voice, encouraging words and understanding support. We met as I stepped into the position that she was leaving at Carr School. We shared the joy of teaching in the field of early childhood education. I am saddened with this loss. May God embrace her husband and family in this time of sorrow. Truly, Kay DeLong

Pat was a teacher of my son's at NM Elementary. I have always thought she was as beautiful inside as she was outside. With her gentle demeaner she was a wonderful teacher and person. My son & I are truly sadded that she is gone.

The room always lit up when Pat walked in. Thank you for blessing us all with your love, grace, and passion.

Pat gave our children a wonderful start to their education at North Muskegon Elementary. She taught and cared for them regardless of their skill level.

Dear Pat and Family,
I will miss your smile and gentleness - even though our paths have not crossed in a while - I will remember your special qualities. It was a pleasure teaching with you and you retirement was not long enough. God bless you and the family. Will keep you in my prayers.
