I am desolated to find out about Pat's absence.
I have tried for a few years to get in touch with her as we lost contact some years back, but I always remembered her as a great light of life she was.
We met in Ecuador in 2000, and she received me in her house for a couple of months, helping me out until I could come back home (Spain).
I have no words, found this after hours and hours of looking for a hint in internet to find her. And I cannot believe.
I would love to reach her daughter to send her my condolences and let her know how much I loved her mother, and what a great person she was.

I will always admired her for her courage, her optimistic way of seen everything, and her huge heart.

Rest in power Pat, you were unique and authentic, and I will miss you big time.

Sincerest condolences to Pat's children and loved ones. Sadly, we have just learned of Pat's death.  Pat and I became fast friends in 1967 while our husbands naval ship was in drydock in Charleston SC.  We were both young mothers and raising our babies. To no avail, Pat spent that summer trying to teach me to drive a stick shift.. that still made us laugh after all these years.  Gratefully, several years ago we reunited and renewed our friendship.  Pat was a remarkable woman and a true friend.  I will always cherish her friendship.  

When my husband and I were house shopping in the Englewood area,  we stayed with Pat numerous times. We valued her lifelong knowledge of the area. She was fun to be around and we continued to see each other after we relocated from the Tampa Bay area.  We shared our mutual love of travel and will miss hearing about her new adventures. 

She was taken too soon, and we miss her.

Pat was instrumental in helping us establish Sarasota Forest Monastery in Englewood.  She was always generous with her time, and her knowledge of the local community was invaluable.
We had a wonderful visit with her when she came to Thailand in 2017, the last time we were with Pat.  May she remembered for all the good she has done.

We moved to Englewood in 1955. Patty was my first friend in 4th grade. Spent many sleepovers at her house all through elementary school. Have only seen her occasionally in the years since but it was always good when we would reconnect...the last time being at our 55th class reunion. Patty was fun and adventurous....always ready to help in any situation. My deepest sympathies to her family.
