Pat was an amazing woman. I have been searching for her. We attended ODU together and danced with Danny Scarborough's dance company. We later went on to dance with Feet On the Move. The last time we connected she was traveling to California. I am truly sad to have found her finally n to see she has left us. Such an amazing, vivacious and talented woman and friend. This breaks my heart. We will always love u Pat.

I remember how confident and intelligent Patricia was in high school and college. I admired her fearlessness and how she danced to the beat of her own drummer. You will missed
