I was saddened and deeply sorry to hear about Pat's passing, and I extend my condolences to her family. Pat was great! It was such a pleasure to work with her. Besides her pleasant disposition, when Pat said she was going to do something, she did. She helped everyone with genuine caring and always did so with a smile. God bless her and her family.

Words can´t explain how much Pat meant to me, she transformed from my supervisor who pushed me to excel, to a second mother figure who offered invaluable guidance and warm hugs. I am forever grateful for the wisdom she imparted, and I am the compassionate supervisor I am today because of her inspiring influence.
