I meet Pat a little over a year ago! I was her personal trainer, it was my pleasure to get to know her. I workwd so closely with her! She touched my heart and even though I only knew her for a short period of time, she meant alot to me! My prayers and thoughts go out to her family...she always spoke highly of her family and how she treasured spending time with them. She will be deeply missed.

I worked with Pat at Kern County Superior Court then again at Dept. of Child Support Services. She was truly a sweet and dear lady. When she retired she was already involved with CASA. She told me all about the program and I remember thinking that someday when I retire, I too want to volunteer for CASA. Last Friday morning, I had a vacation day off. For some reason, I woke up thinking about CASA and how I should look Pat up to see if she is still a volunteer. Then I opened up the local newspaper to see her photo in the obituary section. I felt a great sadness. I am so sorry about her passing and I feel so blessed to have known her and worked with her. Like I said Pat was truly a sweet and dear lady.
