Very sorry to hear of Pat's passing. May she rest in peace by her husband Warren. A little note of appreciation that Pat shared some clippings of her potted herbs with a friend that was making Carl and I sauce one summer afternoon. Sherry and Carl Rinaldi

Pat was always friendly, smiling and fun to talk with. She endured the loss of her husband and a battle with cancer but was never down and out, always pushing ahead. Rest in peace Pat and say "HI" to Norman.
