I was a nurse for 18 years in the ER at FRMC. I had the privilege of having Pat as a volunteer. She was simply the best. From sitting with families that we had just delivered the worst of news to cleaning stretchers that no one in their right mind would have wanted to touch, to just spreading love and kindness to everyone she crossed paths with. She treated everyone the same rich , poor, Governor or Joe Blow off the street. She was always the same giving them her beautiful smile and a kind word.

I am so very sorry about Pat. We were neighbors in Indian Hills and I was fortunate to be the sitter for all 4 of the kids when they were little. You had the Family that I loved to spend time with when you and Jack attended events. RIP beautiful Lady; hugs for Jack and the boys. You are Forever in my Memories of wonderful times.

I am so sorry for your loss, but I can imagine the ruckus happening in Heaven now with Pat joining Jack, Kenny and Wesley. You are such a special family, and you will continue to be in my prayers.
