My heart goes out to the family of Ms. Pat! She was a beautiful human being, always serving her community and doing God's work. She watched over my children while they were at Holy Redeemer. She made beautiful crafts, collected great items for the Harvest Bazaar gift baskets, and always let me come earn service hours helping and hanging out! When I started working at Maryland as an usher and terp host, she always had a kind word, a ride home when I needed it, and she watched over me. When she retired from that, we still kept in touch via emails and she always asked about all of us, and my family. I will never forget her love, kindness and generosity that I know carries forward in her loved ones...

I met Pat when I joined the hospitality group at University of Maryland. We´re all Terp Hosts and love it. Pat was a wonderful friend & very funny to work with. I have truly missed her. I was thinking about her the other day . She must have stopped by my place for a quick visit. I have fond memories of Pat. May she rest in peace and forever be remembered by family & friends.
