What a fine lady to have known in my formulative years. Pat was a the fiends Mom you all loved to visit and share time with. She had terrific cookies for us friends and neighborhood. She was also that steady hand to all of us when we needed a little extra help and understanding. She was that special mom everybody liked. Her comforting smile to all will be missed. God bless Pat and the family.
I have heard many good things about Pat! To her family, I wish you did not have to go through this! I have only meet Pat once, one thing she said to me was, “ I heard about the top you got – stop staring at my flags. Glad it was you, not me, that got that.” Very funny, loved her instantly!
