Dear Stephanie, I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your grandmother. When you were at Lincoln Preschool, her and your grandfather would do anything for the class. She was a sweet and kind person who loved you so much. Melissa Karas

How do I begin to describe my feelings for this wonderful woman? Pat gave selflessly and without fanfare or expectations of gratitude. She served in public offices but also served privately, both friends and family. She gave freely of her time, money and resources. She was a counselor when the need arose. She and Lou were family and I loved them both. God bless you Pat. Surely you are in the presence of the Lord.
