Our condolences to the Smith Family. Although I only met Pat on a few occasions over the years, I know she was a great lady and that she will be missed. Her many contributions to the history and success of the St. Paul Rodeo are appreciated. / The Mel Lambert Family.

Aunt Pat was by far one of the most inspiring people in my life. She was so gracious and positive, always handling lifes ups and downs with her head up and her eyes forward. I'm thankful for all the years I got to spend with her and I will forever be a better person because of it. Love you Aunt Pat! Sandi Sajjadi
