Dear Uncle Ken,

I want to say that I love you guys and I am always here whether you just need some one to talk to or just need company. I know we will all miss my Aunt Pat dearly...it just doesn't seem real. My FAVORITE memories are the holidays, the events and plans and all the fun she would put together and she would always get everyone to enjoy themselves whether it be a kid, a parent, or a grand parent; she had everyone involved and enjoying the whole thing. I will miss all the visits to your old house in El Dorado Hills, me and my family spending time with you guys, well I mainly played Shawns Nintendo, but we were still there. Uncle Ken I am so sorry you had to loose something so dearly and like I said we are all always here for you! Love You!

Patricia was one of a kind! She loved her family very much and we spent alot of time scrapbooking memories of her loved ones. Patricia was the best friend anybody could ask for,she touched me in so many ways and my life and heart will never be the same.

My treasured memory of Patricia
Pattie was:
- A generous, big hearted woman
- A fastidious homemaker
- A mother to 3 fabulous children
- And a grandmother twice over
Pattie was all of these and more. Yet, the picture that keeps coming into my mind is the sparkle in her eyes when she was with her family.
Pattie truely loed her family.
I think the best way to love and honor Pattie is to love and care for her family.
I am sure that is what Pattie would want us to do.

Ken,

I have known Patricia for the last 10 years from Bunco. In addition, we did scrapbooking together. I am so sorry to hear about her passing. She will be missed. I will always remember Patricia as a very friendly, approachable person. She was very talented and a great mom and homemaker. You and your family have my deepest sympathy.

Ken, Shawn, Shannen & Keira:
Patty was a beautiful person inside and out. We are not sure why her time on earth was short for us, we only know that she is now in the Kingdom of Heaven and that she is finally at peace with the Lord. I know we will all miss her very much. Please take comfort in knowing that we all love you each and every one of you and that we are a strong family and we will all get through this difficult time together. With ALL our Love and prayers...

Even though our friendship had its ups and downs, the things I will always remember best about Patricia was her sweetness and all the fun we had together making crafts and playing bunco and bingo together. She was a very devoted mom and loved her entire family oh so much. May she rest in peace and her family find the comfort that it needs.

To Ken and Family,
What an amazing sister I had. She never said no to helping anyone. She was always there for me and all our family. I truly miss her, and will always have a place in my heart for her and her family. We're there for you.
Love Glenn, Colette and family

Dear Ken and family,

There are no words that can ever express all that I feel. Patricia was the most special of friends to me. We had busy lives and didn’t talk as much as we would have liked but one thing was always for sure, if we needed each other all we had to do was pick up the phone and ask, the other one would always be there. She was like that, always there for anyone, and I do mean anyone, that needed her. She was an amazing person, the kind that was an inspiration to all who knew her. I am proud to have called her my friend. May God embrace you and your family with love and encouragement at this difficult time and in the time too come.

All our love and prayers, Jan and Dave Eastwick

Aunt Pat was sometimes I think the glue that held everyone together. She was the one that gathered everyone together for Christmas every year--making wonderful meals that could feed an army. And she always made sure everyone had their fill and was well entertained. Its hard to believe she is gone but I hope she is happy and finally at peace. God Bless Pat and all my love to Ken, Shawn, Kelly and the kids.

Ken,
You have our deepest sympathy for all you are enduring. Shawn, Kelly, Shannon, Kiera, Sophia and Evan had a very loving & caring Mom & Grandmother in Pat. She was a great sister too. We'll all miss her. Just know she is in the Lord's loving arms with Mom and Dad now. God Bless you and your family.

My sister Patty was one of the most kind hearted people I have known; always willing to lend a helping hand for anyone in need. My family has been so lucky to have had her in our lives and she will be greatly missed. I thank God for all the memories that I will treasure. My heart truly goes out to Ken, Shawn, Shannon, and Keira. Rest assured she is now in His warm embrace.

Dear Ken and children,
I am so very, very sorry for your loss. I know that there is no physical pain that is greater than the loss of a mommy and a loving wife. Its ok to cry openly and out loud. Its a sign of the pain that you truly feel. I wish you and the kids the best. As time passes, life's pleasant memories will help to ease the hurt that you must endure now. And remember, that the most important job ahead of you, is to continue to bring up your kids in a way that would make their mommy proud. She will be watching.

Patricia was such a loving,fun, gifted and talented young woman. She was a great hostess! Patricia and I played bunco together until I moved to Fair Oaks. We worked together on women's ministry events when I was a member of Lakeside. Patricia had a servants heart and was loved by everyone. She loved her family greatly! I am sorry to hear of her passing.
