Just today I learned of Pat's passing, and was so sad. Pat hired me at Salt Lake City Engineering. I was always impressed of what an outstanding mother she was to all you boys. Pat was the first person I knew that had triplets! She loved each of you so much, all six of you. I missed her when she retired, and I'll miss her now. I will never forget this fine woman.

I am very saddened to hear about the passing of Pat. Pat was my secretary for many years in SLC Engineering and she was a a very dependable employee and I very much appreciated her support and great work she did for me and the City. I just found out about her passing and sorry I missed the celebration of her life.

Dear Family of "Patsy", which is waht we all knew her by. I went to school with Parsy for many years. I really liked Patsy and Joan Jones, her cousin, I believe. She was a great person. Please accept my sympathy. Dawna Mae Gerrard Davies

We are so sorry for your loss. We will miss Pat very much. Pat was our long time neighbor on Bluehaven Drive, and was a big part of my family's life. I remember growing up visiting with Pat whenever I seen her. I especially remember the popsicles she would share with Brett and me on hot summer days. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Patsy always had a smile on her face and was fun to be around. Her boys were the pride of her life and she and the boys took great care of aunt louise. I spent a lot of my youth at the nilsson houses and patsy was like a sister to me. I know you boys will miss her as she was such an important part of your lives. God Bless you all.

One of the best friends I ever had at S.L.C. Corp (engr dept)
She always spoke it the way it is and did not ever hold back on happening.
She will be dearly missed. Especially the laugh she had and sense of humor.
LUV You Always.
