Pat was Sweetie!!! We took a class together that would prove to bring us closer together as friends. Going for walks, talking about her flowers, meeting some of her grandchildren that she was so proud of were just some of the things that she choose to share with me.  She gave me a pin that represented children that I worked with.  She will be missed by many.  She was a PEACH of a person.
Sending many HUGS!!!!! 

In 2015, a small class of creative writing students bonded over the love and tutelage of Professor Patricia McGraw. We had our moments - repetitive syllabus discussions, the occasional confusion over which assignment we were working on.  But Professor McGraw's corrections were spot on. Her critique of our work was gentle and forward thinking, with plenty of praise and side notes ("I am enthralled by this sentence," she once wrote in red pen on the side of my page). She was a gentle soul who talked about her children and her house - and creative writing publications. We were extremely protective of Professor McGraw, as she was with us. The next year I went on to write a novel recognized by the International Book Awards. At every event I still take a moment to talk about the teacher who most inspired me - Professor Patricia McGraw.  I am sending love to her family.     

Pat was an inspiration as a dedicated and compassionate teacher, beloved by students and colleagues alike. What a loss to us all, yet her spirit will live on in the hearts and lives of all of us fortunate enough to have known her. My deepest condolences to her family.

Pat was my colleague, teacher, and friend from my first day at CCCC. Her friendship and huge smile made every day brighter. We spent many hours together, sharing stories, and laughing. Pat cared deeply for her students and worked so hard to find ways to make readers and writers of them.   She loved her children and grandchildren fiercely and would do anything for them. She will be sorely  missed. Rest In Peace, dear Patty.
With love, Cindy

I always admired Pat's skill, patience and compassion as she worked especially with the more challenging English students at the Cape Cod Community College.  I so much appreciated her warmth and friendship. I, along with all who knew her, feel the loss of her smile, her compassion and her friendship.  We lost a great woman, but Heaven gained another star.   She will always be alive in the memories of those who knew her.     Brenda Collins
