Mrs. Loreto... she was always like a mother to me. I remember her when I was in elementary school. I remember how she was a mystery to me... how she over powered me and how she always had her cain. I remember when my mom explained to me WHY she had to have the cain, I remember that pain. I never viewed Mrs. Loreto as weak, she was anything but that. When I was in middle school I was blessed by being the only B in her "S" homebase. She was my best friend. She let me "skip" my tech class and she was always an ear. I can still picture her room with the Steelers flag in the corner where the American flag was supposed to hang. Thats my girl! When I was a "wee-little" freshmen she was again my Spanish teacher... the hardest teacher I ever had... but I loved it and I loved her! I hope she is looking down from us in heaven,watching all my mess ups and laughing. I wish she was still here to give me advice like the old days. I lost contact with her the last year of her life, and I regret it deeply. I never got to say goodbye... or thank you. So Thank You Mrs. Pat! I love you and miss you greatly!

Patti, I can't believe it's been nearly a year since we lost you. I still can't believe you are gone. The girls are so wonderful, you were a great mother. I remember you not only as an adult but as a little girl & a baby. You were loved by many & are still loved by all. I know that you are with The Lord & you are safe--your girls are safe too--the whole family will love & protect them.
I love you & miss you

My Dearest Patty,
We are still mourning our loss. You left us so early, only 43 years old, but having already accomplished so much. In addition to raising two wonderful and beautiful daughters, you were a great teacher and a giving loving person. Yes, this is a father talking, but it is backed up by the many tributes, visits and cards by those whose life you affected so positively. I see you every day when I see your daughters and your brothers. You live on in our hearts.

Paz I will miss you. Even though you were facing a tough fight with cancer, you were always cheerful and positive. You were a joy and a good on-line friend. My prayers are with your family.

Est: You were that rare flower on a fresh dew covered meadow that brought beauty and a smile to those you touched. In the Podium, yo umade people better than they were by your mere presence. As when the fall comes and the wild flowers have gone, you have left us, but the seed of your memory will live on. Thank you:) WIMoose

like a mother to all of the students, making us feel like your own "kiddies" made my first year in public school so easy. talking to you online, being like a mother, and a close personal friend made dealing with my own things easier. i loved you like a mother, talked to you like a best friend, and miss you more than you will ever know. i hope you are up there watching over me still... i promise to make you proud. i love you

We shared many times together - stories, rides to and from Aberdeen Middle, jokes and pain. You are now with God.
You stood by me when I needed you - I'll miss your smile and your sense of humor. Be at peace with the Lord.

In the fall of 2001 Pat came to teach at Aberdeen High School and this is where I first met her. My room was just down the hall from hers, when I went to welcome her to the school I walked into her room and discoverd a large plastic rat and a Grateful Dead poster. Of course we immediatly became friends and harrased each other constantly. Through the year and ahalf that I worked with Pat I shared many laughs with her about what was happening at school. I've missed her since she had to leave and will always remember the Deadhead who loved Jerry Garcia. I'm sure I'll see ya someday Pat.

She was the best teacher in Aberdeen Middle School when I was in the 8th grade. She would make us laugh at bad times and she made you feel confortable in her class. She was like a spanish mother to me. Then when she told us that she might go to CMW and teach, we told her that she couldn't go to there. Then we were so surprised to see her the next year in Aberdeen High School. She loved aberdeen too much and we loved her too. She would be truly missed at Aberdeen, but we know that she is in a better place now.

My beloved friend, I miss you so much. Pat, you deepened my faith, articulated what I could not, and taught me grrrrrness in the face of pain and adversity. I shall live in my faith and not in my fear, because of you, and one day you and I shall enter the dance together, barefooted in God's meadows. May God bless your family. grrrr, Girlfriend.

I knew Patricia as "Estrelle" in the Podium Chat Room. She was a ray of light and laughter in a place that often tended towards rancor. Even in an online chat room, there was a certain grace and acceptance in her manner. She was always upbeat, positive and courageous in the face of what must have been difficult times for her personally. She is an inspiration to us all. My prayers go out to her family and friends. May flights of angels speed her to her rest.

Hola ((((Es))))
I wrote your name in the sand,
but the waves washed it away!
Then I wrote it in the sky,
but the wind blew it away!
So....I wrote it in my heart
...and that's where it will stay! I will always treasure our friendship and chats. I know your an angel. {\o/} God bless you! My deepest sympathy is extended to family members. ~Aubie~

We've cried together many times, and laughed together more times than I can ever count. Pat would stand in my Health Suite door at school and, while clutching her chest, yell, "Nurse, nurse! I have a sucking chest wound! Help me!" To see her funny faces always made me giggle....Now it is I who has the sucking chest wound, where a piece of my heart has perished. Thank you, Pat, for allowing me to be a part of your life, for inspiring me and everyone else around you with your wit, your strength, your hope and your faith. I love you and will miss you always.

I was blessed to teach with Pat at Aberdeen Middle School for five or six years. We shared so much together and laughed until our stomachs hurt. I will miss Pat for the rest of my life because the world was a better place with her in it. I love you, Pat.

I first knew Pat in Jr. High when I got lucky enough and won the 1973 spelling bee when were both in 8th grade. Patty, as I knew her then, was a formidable opponent and I felt proud to be in her league. Patty and I got to know each other very well both in school and in Youth Group at First Presbyterian Church in York. We developed a good friendship and I will always remember her great smile and her talent for playing guitar. Having lost my mother to cancer 8 years ago, I can understand the loss that Mr Couch, Jeff and Greg are feeling at this time. My thoughts, prayers and condolences go out to the Couch and Loreto families.

She was Estrella to me.....a wise, witty, articulate on-line friend.We bonded as teachers, as parents proud of our children, and as women intensely interested in the world around us and the events shaping our lives. Those left bereft by her passing, as I am, can seek comfort in having been privileged to know such an extraordinary person.

She was like my mother. We always got along and had fun. For the past few months we have not been talking, but truly in my heart I always loved her. She was a wonderful mother and has brought up two wonderful daughters. My prayers go out to the family. Pat, I really miss you. You were like a mom to me. Take care..
