I will never forget a very special friend I had while living in Pittsford. I cannot believe it has been 11 years since we last spoke over the phone. It seems like yesterday!!!! Special love to her family.

Not a day goes by that a former memory of a friend who will always be cherished. I was so lucky to have known her and experienced a special friendship with her while I lived in Pittsford.

After 8 years that have passed, I still remember a very special friend and the love and support you gave me at a time in my life when I especially needed the understanding and comfort of a "sister". You were that to me!! Hugs and love to all of your family.

Our family knows Mr. and Mrs. Gilges as we were Julie and Steve's next door neighbors in St Augustine for the past 9 years. Our children grew up with the Martin kids and Pat and Walter were so wonderful about taking our children along with the Martin kids on several outings or watching them all swim in the Martins' pool or bouncing on the trampoline. I couldn't believe the patience they had taking on so many little kids at one time. Pat was really cool and I remember a few years ago when Julie and her mom went roller coaster riding at one of the amusement parks in Orlando. I couldn't believe it! She had a sense of adventure for sure! She always had a smile for us, and our kids. Our condolences from our family to Mr. Gilges, Julie, Steve, Kent, Liz, Keith, Bryan, Chip and Jennifer (as well as Kent and Liz's kids which I can't all recall by name right now :).

Dear Liz and Kent. We are so sorry for the loss of Kent's mother. She had so many redeeming qualities that she surely passed on to Kent. Please know that she is now with Elie and your strong faith will help you cope one day at a time. God Bless you and your wonderful children.

I will cherish my friendship with Pat and her wonderful family always. Walter, I am thinking about you, Kent, Julie, and Keith at this time and will remember all of you and your family in my prayers. Pat was a devoted wife, loving friend, and the best mom to her wonderful children. My heart feels your sadness. With deepest sympathy.

I am so sorry. I wish I could say something that would help but there are really no words that can do it adequately. Patsy was an amazing Mom, wife and person, kind and generous. She has left an amazing legacy in her family and through them she lives on.

Pat was the perfect example of..." that everlasting friends go long periods of time without speaking and never question their friendship....these friends pick up phones like they just spoke yesterday regardless of how long it has been." Her's was a friendship I have highly valued down through the years. Our condolences to the family.

Walter and family, We were so sorry to hear of Patsy's passing. We have many fond memories of Patsy at Hunt Hollow, and at Junior League events. Her obituary pictures her perfectly and I felt like she was standing here beside me when I read it. I know you will miss her energetic presence.

We enjoyed so much knowing Pat and have, upon reading her obituary, learned many more wonderful things about her. We are blessed to have known her and want you to know that our prayers for her continue as she begins her "new life."
