It has been a few years and I can not explain to anybody how much I miss my Grandmom. Her positive attitude and beautiful smile always brought joy into my life.She would surprise my cousins, sisters, and I with the sweetest ,most thoughtful gifts just because she was such a kind person. I am happy to know that she is still in a better place and that she is with wonderful Cyndi. I will (like others) miss her more than words can say. Love you Grandmom

Susan and Robin, it saddens me to learn of this news. Pat was a very special woman--always kind and gentle. The only thing that eases the sorrow a but is knowing that she's with Cyndi again. Godspeed to both of you and yours.

My memory of Pat is one of a loving, outgoing, warm and friendly person. I'm sure she is in God's hands and with the heavenly angels, free of pain and now looking over those who loved her.

I have many fond memories of Pat from the first time I met her in the early 60's. She and Ed were the quintessential Aunt and Uncle we all admired from the very beginning. My thoughts and prayers to everyone.

Keep her close to you through precious memories.

Susan, Robin, Kathy, and all other family members.
Our hearts go out to you with love and sadness at this time. I\'m sure Pat was a wonderful mother, grandmom, sister and friend to all.
When we would talk about any of you girls or her grandkids, she would brighten up with a special warmness. She used to share with me many of the special moments of joy and laughter each of you brought to her both as children and adults. I believe all Pat truly wanted and needed in life was for you to know and believe how much she greatly loved each of you and for her to receive your love in return, as well as to share quality time with her.
Pat was a close member of our \"family\" as well. I knew others thought of Pat like family also. However, what I didn\'t realize was how many until I spent the last few weeks before her passing. Pat had that way with people. Everyone seemed to love her right from the beginning. She had that warm smile and soft voice that just drew you in.
I\'m sure all who knew her will feel her void in their heart\'s forever. She is and will continue to be greatly missed.

My Grandmom was a loving, kind, generous person. She was nice to everyone and appreciated them all. She was the best Grandmom ever, remembering all of her grandchildren\'s birthdays, and would send large parcels to our door in Sydney, Australia, just in time for our birthday. She spoiled us so much and spent lots of money on us.
I love my Grandmom and (like everyone else) will miss her dearly. She will be missed very much and I thank her for her generosity and kindness.
