Love to the Curl Clan
She was a great lady with a heart as big as the sky. I shall always be thankful for having Pat a force in my life. She was the personification of a sterling parishioner and ideal friend. Her lilting spirit is a lovely gift to us all!

To all the Curl family-- the Joyce/Turbiville family will always remember Pat. Whether we were working on the Old English Festival, singing in the choir, visiting in their home or at Ocean Isle, Pat made everything easy and fun. Even though she was not originally from the South, she was truly a "steel magnolia", in all the best ways. We will miss her. Love, Thom & Suzanne

My family and I were fortunate enough to live next door to the Curls for 10+ years on Bonnington Court. We will always remember Pat as a wonderful, vibrant and caring woman. It is always a treat to see family pictures, especially from Ocean Isle, that exemplify how important family always was to the Curls. Mom and I were blessed to have been able to visit with Pat this past Saturday. Best wishes and prayers to all of the Curl family on behalf of the entire "Driskell" clan.

Duncan, Pat was indeed special.
When you all came South, we became acquainted with the two of you, and Pat was the kind of lady we felt we had known a long time. You too, but she was special. Our condolences, and please know we love you.

Duncan,
I was so shocked to hear about Pat's untimely death. She was such a gracious, talented, and loving woman. We will all miss her and feel the void of her positive energy and presence. I offer my deepest sympathy for you and all the Curl family at this difficult time.
