Pat had such a joyful spirit and contagious laugh that I'll always remember. She was a dear and treasured friend to my mother and will be truly missed.
You will be missed by all.
I shall miss our daily chats and all the fond memories, not to mention the great cakes. I shall forever treasure my necklace you bought from London last year and how you told me "just to let you know, I wore it because I had nothing to wear with my outfit". With a heavy heart and tear stained eyes, the Lord reminded me this morning; to be absent from the body is to be present with the Him. Mr.Pat and family, know that Pat loved you all so much and she has gone home to be with the Lord. May the Lord comfort you during this time and the days to come.
I want to cry and then I smile… Her spirit is still with us. Her love still warms my heart. She is not far, she is still with us… I can still hear her laughter and feel her warm embrace. This isn't goodbye…
Mrs. Pat, it was such a wonderful priviledge to have known you for so many years. I will miss your beautiful friendship & love(that you gave so freely)the smiles and laughter we've shared. Rest my friend, no more pain or tears, until we meet again you will forever be in my heart. God bless you and those you loved so dearly.
Pat was such a great and caring friend to all of us at school. She always had a smile and humor. We were looking forward to seeing her next year at our "40th Reunion" and she will be missed by all. My deepest sympathies to your family. I pray the Lord will give you peace and comfort.
Everytime I saw Mrs. Pat she had a huge smile on her face, she would light up the room the second she walked in! Leah, I am praying for peace for you, Avery, and the rest of your family. I know you guys miss her already. I love you so much!
Pat, you will always live on in our hearts, and memories.
I don't even know what to say at this point, I just heard of Pat's passing today. Leah and Mr. Pat, I know she loved you first. I held Pat in my heart for so many years, as I know she did me. This is so painful and I want you to know that I am thinking of you now. The loss I feel for this good friend of 54 uears ;eaves such pain in my heart today! I am thinking of you now.
Mrs. Pat! 33 years ago, you gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. Little did you know, that the very next day, I took my first breath. Through life's twists and turns about 4 years later, your beautiful baby girl became my big sister and best friend. I want to thank you for giving me such a wonderful gift. Your spirit will carry on through Leah and Avery. We are all deeply sadden by your passing, but we know that you will forever be in our hearts. We were blessed to have known you. Mr. Pat, you are such a wonderful person. I hope that as each day passes, it gets easier than the last. Always remember the love that you had for each other. Mrs. Pat and Leah are lucky to have you in their lives. We are always here for you. We are family. We love you very much. Jille and family
