My heart goes out to Pat's family and friends for the loss of someone so special. I hope your happy memories will help you through this difficult time. Pat was my sister, Irene's, mother-in-law. I didn't know her very well, but every time we had the opportunity to meet, she treated me like I was part of the family. She was always so pleasant, gracious, thoughtful, and kind to me. My deepest sympathies,Carmela

My condolences for your loss. I worked with Pat briefly at an assisted living facility in Kenosha. I was an assistant and medication tech. She was so wonderful to me and was a perfect mentor. She was exactly who I needed to give me encouragement to become a nurse myself. I will admire and appreciate her always.
