Unfortunately, I did not know Pat well in high school, but feel so blessed that she came into my life these past several years. Pat was a very kind, caring, and thoughtful person who will be greatly missed. Her special wit and humor always made me smile. Her memory will forever be with me. Rest in peace, dear friend, until we meet again.

I was so sad to hear of Pat's passing. I had talked to her in December and we were going to lunch after the new year. I so wish we had done it in January. You have my deepest sympathy. Pat was a great person and will be missed.
