Richard I know your family from back when your dad was at St. Theresa's Manor. Over the years I have bumped into Pat at Hannafords. We would always stop to chat, catching up on what we had been up to and share a laugh .

Tish and I shared the same sense of humor. Even though we did not see other often, it didn’t take long before we were on the same wavelength. I always looked forward to seeing her. RIP Tish.

Miss Ball was such a memorable teacher. I remember her “go go jar”. Instead of putting money in the jar when you swore, Miss Ball would have you put money in a jar when you would say, “she said X and I “go” X”. You didn’t “go” anywhere, you “said, etc”. I was in her class when the Challenger blew up. Many memorable moments I experienced in her class. Rest In Peace, Miss Ball, you were a blast and have never been forgotten.

Hi Dick,
I am so very sorry to hear of the passing of your sister. Although I didn't know her well. I could see that she was a beautiful person inside and out.
Please know that I will keep Pat and you, and the rest of your family in my prayers.
May our loving Father grant you peace.

"If I could turn back time," it would surely be to those days when Pat and I would sing together outside our classrooms at Parkside. RIP, Pat...

Richard, So sorry to read of Pat's passing. As you know, we go way back to 5th grade and she was my roomie when we moved to VA to teach. We had many fun times together and we were just reminiscing 2 weeks ago on the phone. She will be missed.

I'm saddened to read of Pat's passing. I remember Patty & her brother Richard from their attendance at my mother's Tiny Tot Nursery School many long years ago. Time flies as we lose family & friends. Memories will hopefully soften the loss.
