Pat was the mother of a good friend of mine, Todd. She was always very nice to me and obviously a wonderful mom to Todd and Troy and grandmother to Tyler. I will always remember her in Vegas at Todd and Jenny's wedding, as our small group was looking at the spectacle of Fremont Street, drinking beer on the street and watching in wonder the colorful overhead display and crazy people. She had such a great time in Vegas! Sleep good, Pat. Jeff Sundby

My name is Lisa Johnson and I am the daughter of Sally Leemon who was at Milestone Assisted Living with Pat. Pat and Sally were buddies! Pat was always looking after my mom since their days in the assisted living to the memorial care unit. I would get such laughs when sometimes a stuff animal or purse would go missing and they would find it in Pat’s room! Pat was always so much fun to talk to. She was a wonderful friend to my mother. It meant a lot to me that my mother had a friend like Pat to keep her company. My mother passed away onJuly 8th. My condolences to the family. You had a beautiful mother! Sincerely, Lisa

Todd and Troy - Was thinking of your mom this holiday and came across this. I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. I have many wonderful memories of your parents when Chris and I were young. Sending you peace and strength during this difficult time. It has been 7 years since my mom passed, 4 years since my dad and 2 years since my brother. Sharing in your grief. With sympathy, Paige Hoffland Rusch (Bruce and Pat Hoffland's daughter)
