Pat was a beautiful, sometimes silly, fun and feisty lady, who loved her family dearly. I am grieved at how difficult things were for her and for those who loved her the last years she spent here on earth. I am ever grateful I got to know her and laugh with her. And that I found such a wonderful friend in her daughter. Rest in Peace Pat, we all miss you, we are glad that you are past the pain. God bless you and everyone who cared for you and who love you still. with deepest sympathy, Barbara Lafferty
