I am honored to have known Pat. I have many happy memories from the early days Of the neighborhood group, NIMROD, which she helped found at Grace UMC. We blocked traffic, with the help of the police of course, at Lexington and Dewey to hand out flyers, went on marches against drugs and violence, and many other things, including The Deacon's Table. I miss her already. May God's grace and blessings be given to her family. I love you all.
