When I think about my time at Maces, Pat is in pretty much every memory that comes to mind. She was always so upbeat and positive, and just one of those people who was so much fun to be around. I can still picture her with her beer and cigarette, just being Pat.

There was an age gap between us, with her being older than my own mom, but I never really thought about it. She was just cool. I always enjoyed her and loved her personality.

I haven’t seen her much over the past several years, so I was really fortunate to see her at the last Maces reunion. That was such a treat for me, and I’m really glad I got that chance to see her again.

I’ll miss her dearly. She was such a big part of so many of my Maces memories, and I’ll always smile when I think of her. ❤️
