I'm not sure why but today I found myself thinking of my days at St. Leo's and the teachers that I had that influenced me the most. Sr. Pat came to mind. Back in 1976 I was a handful. I would've been the poster child for Ridilan. I wasn't bad, just busy. She had such patience with me that I couldn't understand how she did it. Not many of my other teachers managed to control themselves and I'd find myself on the wrong end of a yardstick. She managed me without every laying a hand on me. God bless her. I hope she knew the positive effect she had on me. As I've grown and have children of my own I treasure her quick pass thru my life and the lessons she taught me. She was the best. So sorry it took this long for me to acknowledge her. Rest in peace Sister Pat.

My Aunt Pat had a way of bringing love and clarity to every situation. Being hugged by her was always a moment of peace and love, a feeling I will always remember. She is a woman I have always looked up to. I have been so blessed to have her in my life. I love you Aunt Pat!

Sister Pat truly lived her faith. A wonderful mix of strength and compassion, she supervised wisely and created a home that will continue to be a testament to all she believed true and dear. She taught us well to carry on her ideals for the very special people we serve. She will be remembered always.

Sr. Pat was one of my top ten people. She gave so much to so many. What a blessing she was to her family, her friends, her staff and to all who knew her. We will miss her great story telling ability, her sense of humor, and her gift of loving people. God's blessings to her family. We miss you, Sr. Pat.
