So sad to hear of Pat’s passing. Thoughts and prayers for God’s comfort for the family.
My sincere condolences to the family. I worked with Pat for many years at Bank of America. I remember her kind sole and love for her family, especially her grandchildren. The customers all loved her and she always kept a treat for all the drive thru dogs. She will surely be missed by many.
Hearing about Pat’s death saddens me. Although we did not remain in contact over many years, I have many fond memories of our growing up years. I share your grief. Circumstances prevented Nancy, Art, or me from being at the funeral, but we all hope for and pray for God’s mercy and comfort.
Pat was a great coworker. I was blessed to know her. SueLane Muesing
