Granny Pat was an enduring presence and a wealth of knowledge at many Girl Scout day/twilight camp trainings through the years. She also shared her quilting skills with me and the joy that it brought to her. I'm thankful to have known her!

Ms Pat,
We had a great Girl Scout partnership; working together to benefit adults and girls. I enjoyed our challenges, discussions, conventions, and many trainings. Working with you was a joy I'll never forget.

So sorry to hear of your loss. I so admired the many years of work she spent in Girl Scouts when my daughter & I were involved. I was also so surprised & impressed when I picked something up at her house one day, to observe her remarkable talents in wood handy work! I have wished ever since seeing her brave example to learn that nontraditional art for women! She gave so much of her heart and set numerous wonderful examples for many of us! Many prayers, marty graham (Irving, Tx)
