Patty was such a sweet and gentle soul who had a ready smile for everyone. Went on many cruises together and we always had the most fun.  She is dearly missed by myself and my wife, Sharon.  We truly enjoyed our time with her.  Praying for her soul always.

I miss my dear friend Patricia. More than I thought I could. She could give so much love, Sympathy when needed. I hope to see her again one day.  ♥️

What a lovely and wonderful lady.  I miss our many cruises we took together with our friends and family. I especially miss Patty’s ritual of ordering white wine with a glass of ice. Miss her dearly.  She was a good friend. 

I’m thinking of our last cruise together and how much fun we had. Sharon and I miss your smile and watching you fill your wine glass with ice.  Until we see you again.

Dave, and Family, I am so Very Sorry to hear of Pats passing I couldn’t believe it my heart hurts so bad for you all...

Joe and I are so sorry for you and your families loss.  We are praying for all of you at this time.  I will never forget, on a plane ride from one of our many cruises Patty showed me how to play candy crush!
What fun we had.  There were good times that we all shared. We will miss patty deeply.  I loved when she shared stories about the grandchildren. How much she loved them.
Dave I hope that you feel surrounded by much love, prayers, and comforting hugs!

David, Mark and Ellen I'm sorry for your loss. We love Pat and we were really sad about the news. Praying for God comfort the hearts of all of you

Pat was always a good neighbor. We shared many laughs and great talks over the years. She always had a smile on her face which made my walks around the court more pleasurable when I spotted her. She will be dearly missed, and we will keep her memory in our hearts.

Dave ,Mark, and Ellen
I am so sorry for your loss.  I always enjoyed seeing Pat at JoAnn and Dick's place over the years.  She was so welcoming and easy to talk to.  I always felt lucky when I got a seat at her table.  She was truly a good person and gone too soon. 

To my dear uncle and cousins, 

I am so sorry for this incredible loss. Aunt Pat was an wonderful woman, always bringing people together. When I think of my fond memories of getting together with family, Aunt Pat is at the center. Whether it was camping at the KOA where we would all gather at the camper for meals together, or sitting out on the deck for Fourth of July, you always wanted to be at Aunt Pat’s table. She always made everyone feel welcome, and like she was truly so happy to see you.  Even when my husband (boyfriend at the time) drove down to Clinton Township to try to surprise me at a family gathering that my parents and I had already left, arriving at a house of people he had never met, my Aunt Pat and Uncle Mark made him feel so welcome:) She will truly be missed.

All my love,
Anne

Our heartfelt sympathy to your family.  Please know that we are thinking about all of you.  Sending prayers and love.

Mark  
We are so sorry for your loss.  God received a beautiful angel in his Kingdom.   Pat was a beautiful lady,  who loved her family so much.  She was adventurous and enjoyed sharing her travels.   Remember, she is gone to be with our Heavenly Father, but the memories are with you every day in your hearts.  May God surround you and your family with his loving arms and give you strength .  
Love, Jack and  Pat

Dear Mark, Ellen, Mark and children,

I remember all the family gatherings with the 12 kids playing and the adults talking and eating. 

It was so good to have visited with Pat at MacRays. I was impressed with her calm dignity in dealing with her illness. She was so interested in what was going on in our lives even though so much was going on in hers. She had a gift for that. We will miss her and are sad with you. 

Our sympathy goes out to you all. May your comfort be a joyful reunion in heaven where Jesus said that he has gone to prepare a place for us. 



Dave, Mark and Ellen,

I will miss Pat so very much.  It breaks my heart that I cannot be there with you.  I have so many memories of the two of us growing up that now belong only to me.  I will cherish them always and keep them alive for her.  I love you all.  

We really enjoyed our times together. We looked forward every year to going on a nice cruise having dinner every night, having a few cocktails and telling a few lies and just having fun. Patty, Sharon and I will miss you and your lovely smile. I know you will find peace and happiness with our Lord in heaven. We’re  truly going to miss you.

We met Patty and Dave on a cruise. We were table mates after we were unhappy with our previous table mates. tbey graciously invited us to dine with them. We had such a wonderful time together on the cruise.  Patty was full of laughter. We’ve kept in touch with each other over the years in fact we were supposed to be leaving on a cruise today. 
Patty, you will be cruising in heaven. I will look for you in the stars. 
RIP sweet lady 

Dave and family,

So very sorry for your loss.  Pat was a very dear, sweet, kind and loving person.  My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.  She will not be forgotten.

Love,       Dorothy
