I am deeply saddened to hear of Pat's passing. She was such a smart and kindhearted person. May you take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.

I am sad to learn that Pat has passed away. We were co-workers at UT-Dental Branch and she has been very nice, warm, and very helpful to me and to just about everyone at the Dental Brach. May she rest in peace in heaven.
