Pat used to say to me "you're going to miss me when I'm gone" and gosh darn if she wasn't right. I miss our conversations and stories and gossip. We had a special friendship and I feel like I knew a part of her that other people didn't get to. I'll miss that too. Pat, I'm glad that I got to know you and I appreciate so much you opening your home and heart to me. You are missed.

I had the pleasure of knowing this lovely, kind lady for about the last 5 years. I was her hairdresser! I always looked forward to seeing her. Pat always had a beautiful smile on her face. She spoke so highly and kindly about her family and anyone she knew. Such a beautiful and positive person even when she was going through challenges. We shared lots of stories and lots of laughs. She made a difference to my day. I will miss her very much xx

I did not get to know my cousin Pat until later years when I met her in Florida while visiting another relative. Since then we have kept in touch through the years. She loved New Hampshire and always hoped to relocate there again. We had long telephone conversations at least once a month which was uplifting to the both of us. She loved her family and spoke of them many times. Julie as well as other close family members were a great comfort to her. I know that she is in heaven with her loved ones and is no longer in pain. Rest in peace dear cousin. My love and prayers are with you. Marilyn

Tenacious. Resolute. Practical. These are a few words that describe the character of the women of New England. Pat Birner, my good friend of forty years was all of these things and more. She was a gracious host who would always make you feel more than welcome. She would lend a sympathetic ear to listen to your troubles and it was her nature to always root for the under dog. Pat will be remembered fondly by all those who knew her. We now can all smile as her life comes full circle as she returns to her beloved snowy wonderland of New Hampshire.

Juliet I´m so sorry for your loss. I know this is a difficult part of life to have to go through and it´s never easy but she knows you loved her. And while it feels like there was never enough time or more we could have/should have done, all that matters is that you loved her and cared for her and she loved you. She will be missed!

I've only really connected with Pat through her daughter Julie, who has been my daughter's nurse since she was a baby. The profound impact Julie has had on our lives reflects the deep love her mother had for her. Julie often spoke fondly of her parents and stood by them during their final days. It's one of life's toughest challenges to witness such moments. Find solace in knowing that Pat is immensely proud of you, Julie, and that she's now reunited with her husband.

I only got to meet Pat once shortly before her passing and rarely had I ever seen smile light up a room like hers. Pat raised a beautiful, loving daughter, who no doubt reflected her mother`s passion and joy, Julie Birner. I am truly prep privileged to call her, my friend, and it was a true gift to be able to meet her beloved mother. To the Birner family, May the peace of God that surpasses all understanding, fill your hearts in this time of mourning. Salas family

I miss her. She was a second mom to me, we were friends since the day we met. She was always there with a shoulder to cry on. She was more of a mother to me than my own mom at different points in my life. I will miss our gab fests when she would call and we would talk for hours. I love you.

to my dear sister-in-law I will miss you more than you know. I'm so glad we had the chance to bond over the years and I really got to know you for the wonderful sweet lady that you were. I will miss our phone calls a lot. We did laugh a lot together. Rest in peace my friend. I love you

Pat was more than just a stepmother to me. Since I lost my mother back in 2000, she has fulfilled the role as mother. She was also my confidant. I will miss our many conversations about anything and everything. I will be reunited with you and my dad someday but until then has a great afterlife and continue to look over us.

I love you mom. I'm sorry we didn't get to go to Hawaii together, but I will take you with me in my heart. I am glad you got to show me around New Hampshire and Massachusetts. I hope I was a good daughter for the most part. Rest in peace. See you on the other side.
