I met Pat many years ago when my children were still little (they are now grown ) and like so many others I considered her to be a second Mom. It seemed that I could always turn to her for advise whenever needed and she always made you feel special. We had a connection because I bought her daughter's house and she made it possible for me. She and Jim were like parents to me. I will miss them tremendously and hope that they spend eternity together, smiling, laughing and watching over us all. God's speed my friend. You will be sorely missed!

My aunt Pat was a loving,beautiful,kind and caring person to any one she met. She was was  my second mother to me. We would talk almost ever other day. She somehow new when  when I was getting ready to do something even sometimes before I did and would and would  always says you better be have your self. She will be greatly missed. R.I.P AUNT PAT. 
Love You, 
Lisa
