Elise "Pat" Fitzgerald Brewer was one of the most elegant, kind hearted, warm, smart, funny people that I've ever known. I worked with her at the young age of 21 and she mentored me in life and work! She spoke so highly of her family and was always positive in her outlook on pretty much everything! What a love! My deepest sympathies to her lovely family! I pray that her 95 years were healthy and full of love!

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. I worked with Pat at TASC for many years. She was a great friend and teacher to me. I enjoyed working with her. She was missed when she left and we still talk about how great she was. My prayers and thoughts are with the family.
