I was blessed to have met Pat & Dick nearly a decade ago. Pat was such a kindred spirit. Despite everything she went through, she always had a smile on her face & was such a kind appreciative woman. I know she is with the angels now. She will always be someone I remember, strong willed & a beautiful soul. Rest in peace Mrs. Pat

Oh dear Pat, we miss you, your lively spirit, your open heart, your honesty. Even when you were sick and struggling, you managed to remain uncomplaining, appreciative, optimistic. You worried about your doctors’ health! A perfect ‘Sunshine Lady,’you reached out over so many years to Dick’s dental patients, your kids’ old school chums, folks in the UU Community. How lucky we were to have you in our lives!
