Very sad to hear this news. I worked with Pat at Foster & Gallagher years ago. She brought a lot of excitement and fun to the workplace. She made it a better place to work!
She will be missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

She was a sweet cousin. I remember the fun we all had playing together as kids when my Mom, Dad and I would visit with the family in Illinois. As adults, I also enjoyed the visits when we got together. I will remember you, Patti

Larry, Sarah, Jen, Roy and family - my thoughts and prayers to all of you. Pat was a great friend. I considered her a part of my family rather than co-worker. She was a kind, loving person every day that made going to work enjoyable. May the memories you hold in your heart give you peace at this difficult time.

Larry, Sarah, Jen, and Roy,
I was so sorry to hear of Pat's passing. She was a wonderful friend and co-worker. I will dearly miss her. We had a lot of laughs and fun times at STIHL. She was one of the most caring, giving, and kindest people I have ever had the pleasure to call friend. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.
