Pat was a lovely, warm person and I am sorry for your loss. Our paths crossed in the Keweenaw where we shared an appreciation for fine art. She was a great lady.

Eagle Harbor has lost one of its most gracious citizens. My condolences to Peter and his family.

Our family had a very special relationship with Pat! The VanPelts have always been like family to me. Peter, we loved Pat and will remember her always!
I loved being able to ride my bicycle across the bay to either buy a book or two or to participate in many of the book talks at the shop.
Pat will be missed!

Peter, my deepest condolences. I loved Patricia's laugh and generosity. I am so glad to have known her and will always remember her in her lovely bookshop in the Keweenaw.
