Dear Scott and Steve, I am so sorry I was unable to be with you to celebrate Pat at the memorial service. We moved into the Haslett neighborhood, just around the corner, where she and your dad lived, over 45 years ago. We became friends with them because Pat was the nurse in the doctor's office that we went to and from going to the same church. The love of music and great sound systems were shared with them. Gary and Pat taught us a ton about great sound both in Haslett and in the Holt house after they moved. For several years, early in summer mornings, there was a group of 4 to 6 of us, including Pat, who walked for about 3 miles. Called ourselves the street walkers. Always lots of conversation, as you would guess. Pat had a great sense of humor and contagious laugh that made those walks great fun. She was always into keeping healthy. Remember the bike riding that she did? Even to Mackinaw? She was a talented seamstress and taught me helpful lessons. She chaired a couple committees where we made hangings and vestments for the church sanctuary. She was a great cook and she had a "green thumb", too. Pat was a multi-faceted person. Always curious and always enjoyable. She will be greatly missed by MANY of us.

Pat, I met you when I was living at Burcham Hills. Always enjoyed your company and stories of Haslett, where I taught school for over thirty years. We went to many activities together, fun to be with you. My condolances to Scott and Steve; she always enjoyed your special occasion dinners, though joked about making reservations herself. Very proud of you. Pat will be fondly remembered. RIP now.

Dear Pat: I treasure the 20+ years we worked together in the Okemos Medical Office. You're positive nature, nursing ability, and concern for patients made every day working with you a pleasure. Wherever you worked or lived, your concern for others has been felt by many. Rest in Peace.

Most of my Christmas ornaments are from you, sent over so many years, each treasured by me and now my boys. And so many Christmas presents we wrapped together! You and Gary were an extension of our family and well loved by us all. Rest in peace, dear soul, and I'll see you when I get there!

Pat, I have traveled this journey called "life" with you for a long time. Neither one of us ever consider this day and yet here is it. You have been a dear friend through the years and I treasure the memories I have. We grew up together , we traveled together, we have comforted each other through loss and we remained friends through it all. I will miss you. May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Pat, I have missed you for so many years already, and will continue to miss you. You were my best friend and life is lonely without you.
