I was so sorry to learn of Pat's passing. Her apartment was across from my office at Country Meadows, and I enjoyed talking with her often. She was a sweet lady with an impish smile - she'll be missed!

To the Makos and Danner families and Patsy´s many beloved friends: My thoughts and prayers are with you all, as they have been with Patsy throughout these past months. She and Sterling and I had good times together . I am glad we went to the boardwalk at Atlantic City. And she loved doing this 1000 piece puzzle I sent her (with her Country Meadow friends). I love seeing she and Sterling side by side. I miss our times together, and the people I shared them with. Patsy and I loved to laugh together. I trust she is very happy and at peace now. And hopefully hugging Sterling.
