Condolences to family & friends. Beautiful lady. Pat helped me many times at the Big Y service desk in Westfield. Always smiling, kind. Even though I did not know her personally I will sadly miss her smiling face when I shop. Thoughts and prayers with you all.

I am very sorry to hear about Pat´s passing. I knew her from Big Y and would always chat with her on my way out from shopping at the Customer Service counter. She always had a smile on her face and a kind word. I will miss seeing her. My thoughts and prayers are with her family and loved ones. God bless Pat and may her gentle soul rest in eternal peace.
