So sorry to hear this sad news. Pat always was like a shining light in this world. We became acquainted in High School via Explorers. I looked up to her in so many ways. She and I were both Presidents of the Post and went to same college. She introduced me to the magic of hearing James Taylor live at Jones Beach. Always hoped we would have opportunity to get together again. You will be missed Pat. Adieu!
