May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. I will miss Pat. She truly was passionate, generous, and had a genuine sense of humor that made one laugh. Her dedication to religious education was her commitment, her love. She also enjoyed visiting Door County. My husband and I cannot attend the wake nor the funeral because we are vacationing there at this time. Every time I would mention Door County, Pat always asked where we were staying, how long, and would encourage us to have fun. Her spirit will continue to inspire many. Rest in peace dear Pat.

My condolences to her family. Pat was my 8th grade teacher and I have thought of her often. After all those years I was so looking forward to finally seeing her last Sunday but God overruled my plan. May she rest in peace
