Miss Pat is an angel which we had for a time. She was called home and is in a better place. She was our neighbor and friend for over 20 years and we loved her dearly.

She also volunteered at the facility, putting her heart and soul into helping both the residents and staff. Her devotion to others will always be remembered.
