We were deeply saddened to hear of Pat's passing. We are so happy we got to see and visit with her at our last high school reunion. Pat took care of both my parents as an in home health care provider. My parents adored her and didn't want anyone else but Pat. It felt so nice to know the person caring for my loved ones. Pat was a sweet happy person always and we shall miss her always!
