Peter and family;
I loved being around Pat in Waunakee the soup dinners she would have for our bowling team were great. She could really cook the best soups, and your basement was a fun place to be to enjoy eating broccli soup.
I am so sorry for all of you she was a wonderful friend my last visit was at your home in Arena and i will remember her sitting outside on your screen porch just enjoying life, may she be at peace and you too.

Peter and family: I was absolutely shocked and deeply saddened to hear of Pat's passing. She lived life to the fullest, saying what she wanted to say and doing what she wanted to do.
I will never forget our trip to the Daytona 500. We had a great time, at least until Dale Sr. crashed on the last lap. Then the time in Joliet when Pat instigated us (mom, Pat and I) "borrowing" the Rusty Wallace banner from a busy intersection. Oh the fun we had!
I was so surprised and happy when Pat walked into my bridal shower at Aunt Vickie's, I cried. I am glad that she was able to see Gene and I FINALLY get married.
I will think of Pat every time my mom makes fresh Strawberry Pie!
Keep your memories close to your heart and she will never be far away Peter.
Love,
Lori & Gene Lee
