Thank you for always inviting us to do so many things and making us feel so welcome, you were a great and caring friend to us and so many others !

What can I say about Patricia that could possibly convey what a wonderful person and loyal friend she was?  I first met Patrcia in ’87 or ’88 when I was just out of college and starting my job at Texas Eastern Gas Pipeline.  I don’t remember exactly how we met, but it was probably at bowling.  We both enjoyed the camaraderie and competition of the company bowling league.  It wasn’t long until we were going out to lunch, and then hanging out on weekends going to movies and having fun.  When Patricia left TE to go to a new job, I worried she’d be busy with new things and move on from our friendship, but that’s not how Patricia did things.  Patricia made new friends at her new job, but soon she was setting up lunches so that her old friends could join and meet her new friends.  Everywhere Patricia went she made connections and gathered friends, and she built a community.  Patricia was a very caring person and had a way of making people feel special.  At this point in our lives, I only saw Patricia a few times a year, but every time we texted or got to see each other in person she always made me feel like our friendship was important to her.  I know it was very important to me.  Patricia was the most generous person I’ve ever known.  She loved doing things for others.  Patricia loved her family deeply and was always looking out for their welfare.  I can’t imagine a world where PC isn’t working hard, loving and taking care of Steve Marisa and Zach, and planning the next dinner/party/tailgate/trip to enjoy with her friends.  The world is a poorer place without her in it, but we are all so much richer for having had her here with us for a while. Rest in peace, Patricia.  I’ll love you and miss you always.

Patricia is light!  Patricia is love!  Patricia is laughter!
I will miss her like crazy!  Really crazy!

Steve, Marisa and Zach – my heart breaks for you, but you already know she loved you more than anything.  Patricia and I met at work but soon became the best of friends and bonded over our love of sports, food and adventure.  Our personalities couldn’t have been more different but we swore we were separated at birth and we somehow balanced each other out.  We were Batman and Robin, Lucy and Ethel, Charlie Brown and Lucy - quite the dynamic duo!  She was the only person I know (besides my grandchildren) that could change my mind once it was made up.  We always knew what the other was thinking and exchanged the same text message so often, we would just reply with “.  The last twenty something years seemed to fly by and we shared so many adventures but we weren’t done.  We had many more plans!  I truly hope the universe sees fit that our souls meet up again somewhere in time and we can continue our journeys together.  Until we meet again, dear friend, I hope it’s a bright sunny day where you are and that the score is always in your favor ♥

Patricia and Steve at a reunion of the old gang from Texas Eastern E&P.   March 2023

It saddened me very much to hear of Patricia's passing. 
I met her over 45 years ago when were coworkers at Texas Eastern Exploration and Production.  It did not take us very long to become good friends. She was always very sweet  and thoughtful and full of fun.  After all of the years that we last worked together,  she never failed to send me a birthday greeting on my birthday. 
I remember that she was a great sports enthusiast and dearly loved the Astros and Oilers.  I was a Dallas Cowboys fan, but she did not hold that against me, I think! Lol
I can not imagine the pain you're going through,  but please know that Emma and I will be praying that God will give you the strength to endure these difficult times.

Steve, Marissa and Zachary
My sincere prayers for each of you. Please know that you have a guardian angel that will watch over you daily. Patricia was a special wife and mom. It was truly a pleasure knowing Patricia. I am thinking of each of you as you celebrate her remarkable life. 
May God bless each of you —-
All my love,
Sandra Nusser

My sincerest condolences to Mr Steve, Marisa, and Zach. My heart has broken into a million pieces and I still can’t believe she is no longer with us. Ms Patricia was my second mom. When we became her next door neighbors 29 years ago, she immediately made us (Bob, Michael, and myself) feel like we were a part of her family. We spent nearly every holiday together and Ms Patricia was always celebrating every major milestone in our lives. She was the most generous and kindest soul I’ve ever met. She always put others before herself and lived life to the absolute fullest. I never imagined that our time together would be cut short. One thing that gives me peace of mind is that Patricia always lived life to the fullest and didn’t wait to travel/enjoy life after retiring. Every person’s life she touched knew what a brilliant and bright shining soul she was. She taught me  many lessons in life including how to be a compassionate and caring human being. I know she will always be with us spiritually ♥️ she is going to be missed dearly by so many. 

Some of my favorite memories include:
• spending holidays at the house and eating amazing home cooked meals (bread pudding was one of my favorite desserts you made)
• tailgating at Texans game and power walking to make it to our seats before kickoff - I introduced you to my future husband, Ben, before I even introduced him to my dad and mom  at a Texans game
• our trips to Hawaii . You were there when Ben proposed to me in Maui 2018. Kauai 2014 and doing the river tubing tour and my dad getting scared of the “wild hogs” 
• every moment with you was special. You really let people know how much you loved them.


I love you forever ♥️

Dear Steve, Marisa and Zach,
My heart hurts so much for y’all. I wish I could take away all your sadness and grief and bring her back. 
Patricia was an incredible person, full of love and kindness and I will never forget her.
 It really sucks that she was taken from all of us! It seems like y’all were cheated out of so many years that y’all should have had with her. She loved y’all so much!
 I will continue to pray for God to help you through all the dark days and bring you peace and comfort.
When you become overwhelmed with grief think of all the trips, and fun stuff you did with her and all the crazy things y’all went through together as a family.  I pray that all your wonderful memories will bring you comfort and peace.
Over the last 50 years of her being one of my dearest friends I have so many wonderful memories that I will cherish for the rest of my life. I will never forget our Maui trip in 2022 where I kept trying to convince her she and Steve should buy a house in Maui so we could come visit. It’s a good thing she didn’t listen to me after what happened in Maui.
She was  a beautiful soul and she didn’t deserve this and y’all didn’t deserve this!
I will forever love and miss my dear friend.
 Please let me know what Al and I can do to help y’all.
We love y’all so much!
Liza & Al Mikolas

Steve

I was mortified to hear of Patricia passing.  You and Marisa and Zach are in my thoughts and prayers.  My memories of y’all are among the best during my time in practice.  May Patricia’s memory alway be a blessing to y’all
