I offer my sincerest condolences to Pat’s family and friends. May God wipe your tears, comfort you and fill your mind and heart with wonderful memories until you are reunited with your dear Pat again and death is no more. (Isaiah 25:8)
WARMEST MEMORIES…of this gifted artist and beloved across-the-street friend who delighted us with stories and history of our neighborhood. We always looked forward to laughter-filled dominoes get-togethers with Pat. As well, Pat will be greatly missed at our neighborhood July 4th celebrations. Rest in peace, our wonderful friend and neighbor.
Very talented, lovely person. Always remember her with a smile on her face and admired her many talents. My sincere condolences to all of you. The class of ’52 at OHHS was so blessed. We were small in numbers and had opportunity to get to know our classmates.
To the family,
My deepest sympathies on your loss. My heart goes out to you. Please take comfort in knowing that our loving Heavenly Father is aware of your grief and offers his comfort “because he cares for you” (Psalm 34:18; 2 Cor 1:3,4; 1 Peter 5:7). Please also take comfort in the love of those showing their support as it will help you to cope at this difficult time.
Nathan, Adam and I are so sorry for your loss. When I think of Pat I can so clearly hear her laughing and chatting with us in the kitchen at so many holiday meals, and can see her always smiling. She was so loving and leaves a legacy of a wonderful family. You’re in our thoughts and prayers.
Dear Linda and Family,
The great artist will be missed! Pat will live on in her beautiful paintings that will span generations for future family to enjoy and remember her. We hope your Dad is doing well, we hope you heart isn’t breaking too much, sending our love to you and the family.
