I can't believe that Pat's been gone for almost a year. I think of her everyday and wish I could've spent more time with her before she passed. She was a wonderful woman and I miss her. Sending love to her kids. She adored you all so much! xoxo

Many, many years ago I was lucky to have her as my teacher. She installed the confidence in you that you could learn anything! She had compassion for her students at a time when we did not think about food/home insecurities, she quietly made a difference in the life of a fellow classmate. She was an amazing woman who taught by example.
