I worked for many years with Pat at the Madden Library at Fresno State. After she retired, we would try to get together for lunch. She was a wonderful, cheerful and kind human being and I will miss her. My deepest sympathy to her family and friends.

I grew up in the same neighborhood with the Torosian family. Mrs. Torosian was always very nice to me. I loved her outspoken(kind) words and her special Armenian pastries (sorry I stole them out of the freezer with Steve) She was a wonderful lady and I am thankful for her son, Steve.
