Sympathy to all of Pat,s family during your loss of a wonderful lady.  I enjoyed working for her very much, especially this time of the year of which she loved so much.  She will be greatly missed.

I understand the sadness you are experiencing and wanted to let you know that you and your family are in my prayers. 

We at Platinum will miss Pat dearly.  She was an amazing person.  Her life was dedicated to helping others.  She had a profound impact on my life.  This is truly an end of an era.

Dearest Quinton, Julie, JoAnna & the rest of the family, Pat will be missed by many, but remembered by all who she came into contact w/ throughout her wonderful life. I'll never be able to express to you all the love & kindness I have for Pat, she is such a special person. I remember the day she called me into her office & asked me to be her admissions director @ Morton Terrace. Boy, those were some of the good ol' days. Like when we had our riverboat Friday's. She really was the greatest boss a person could ask for. Without her, I know we'll ALL agree, that the nursing home was NEVER the same. Until we meet again, GOD BLESS YOU PAT. You are all in our thought & prayers!!! Love Missy & Brad

Julie, I'm sorry to hear about your mom.  Please accept my condolences and know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

I am sorry to hear about your wife, Quentin.  Know that she is at peace now and in no pain waiting in heaven to see her family again.

Quentin, Julie, Joanna and your family:  My heart goes out to you during this time.  Your wife and mother was an exceptional person who I will never forget.  Pat and your family have always been a key part in some of my fondest memories while working at Morton Terrace.  Pat had touched so many lives of the residents, families, and staff for those that she knew.  My prayers are with you and I know that Pat is smiling down upon all of you from Heaven!    




Quinton and the rest of the family,   Patty was a wonderful person.   She is missed already.   May your joyous memories be the halmark of her life.   Ron and Sandy Taylor

My grandma taught everything i know today, no matter what the problem was she was there to fix it. She loved everyone, no matter who you were she would care. Ill never forget all the memories i have of her, whether she was working at the nursing home, cooking supper for everyone, or just being the grandma i loved and cared about. She knew how to make my day better by calling me every morning to make sure im awake and ready to get to school. Or how she made Christmas worth waiting for each year, she would always make it special. I loved spending time with her at the nursing home playing with my legos in her office and walking around the building as people called me "little pat". She'll always have a place in my heart, but not just mine everyones. She touched a lot of people throughtout the years and i know everyone is glad they had a chance to be a part of her life. 
Rest In Peace Grandma, ill always love you -JoJo

Pat really had the heart of what a true Administrator was all about.  She was well respected, knowledgeable, and a very compassionate person.  I am thankful she gave me the opportunity to work as the Social Service Director at Morton Terrace.  I am sure I speak for everyone who has worked with her, "you knew when you heard her coming, you were to get to work!"  I enjoyed being around her as she had a contagious smile and laugh.  She had a heart of gold...and a very devoted husband who would do anything for her.  Her suffering is over and the pain has gone away.  My thoughts and prayers are with each of you.  God Bless!     

Julie & Joanna- I am so sorry to hear about your mom. I enjoyed working for her at the Nursing Home. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your families.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Pat was always very kind to me throughout the years. If I can help in anyway, please let me know. My thoughts and prayers are with you. 

Quinton and the girls---- You know Pat is up in heaven showing everyone how to decorate for the holidays--- more, more, more. I have missed Pat since she left Morton Terrace- the sound of her scooter going up and down the halls stopping by each office to ask " Whats going on" and sometimes catching us doing something we shouldn't be ---- my thoughts are with all of you, especially you Quinton. 

Quinton,Julie,Joanna &Family
My thoughts are with you at this time of loss. I remember so many good times with Pat as my adminstrator. She gave me many chances, at times when possibly no one else would of. Pat will be truly missed by many, although there are many memories that will be here for ever. May she rest in peace.      

Right next to my parents and siblings, I deeply feel that Pat was one of the greatest influences in my life.  She was my administrator for 19 years; my 1st experience of what a boss should be, as I started working for her right after high school. When she promoted me to an office position, she had more faith in me than I had in myself.  Ever since then, I have strived to never give her a reason to regret her faith in me; and this continues today, even after her retirement 4 years ago.  Pat and her family went through so many life changing moments with me, both wonderful and sad moments, that I feel they were also a part of my family.  I'm sure many others that Pat knew felt the same way, as she cared so deeply for her residents, their families, and her staff.  I feel such sorrow that she has left us, but also feel blessed that I was able to know her as long as I did.  Rest in peace, Pat.

Love, Marj 

Dear  Julie, Joanna, Quinton and  grandchildren,
  
  I still remember the first time I walked  into  Pats  office.I told  her I would  like to volunteer   and she was  so  kind  and listened  to   what I had to say.She looked  at me and said  I would like for you to come and work   for  me.I had  no experience  and never  dreamed the next  25 years would be spent  working  for  her.
   People will say there are  those people  who touch your   life  and make you feel you can  get to the top.
   She was a boss who   made you want  to  achieve  and when you did   she  let you   know  you did   well  and if  you  didn't   you  felt you had  disappointed her   and  you worked harder   at  trying to   make her proud  of you.
   She  gave  me tremendous  support during some     difficult  times  in  my   life;  her kindness to me  will always  be remembered  and her faith she intrusted in  me  made me  believe  I could  do  well helped me to  move   into the job  postion    at the Terrace.
   Julie   you know the friendship  we  share   and   how  much   we  both  loved  our  mothers.To know  they are  now   with   their  heavenly  father and are  rejoycing  with their  loved ones  gives us  great  comfort  and peace.
 Remember   " Life is  isn't always   about how to survive the storm ; but how  to dance in the rain"!   God   will  give you his strength  even through the storms   of  life!   Eileen        

I am so sorry for your loss during this holiday season.  My prayers and thoughts are with you.

If there was anyone in my life I would like to thank it would be Pat. She made me what I am today. I started as a cna working for her when she asked me to become her secretary. Because of her I am the person that I am today. She was a wonderful friend and I will miss her dearly. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Love 
Laurie
