I was deeply saddened to hear of your loss. I worked with Pat at Elim for years & she was such a warm & caring CNA. It’s hard to understand why people are taken from us, but find comfort in knowing you were a special part of a well-lived life. Feels God’s strength during this very difficult time. My deepest sympathy, prayers, & God’s blessings.
Mrs. D will always hold a special place in my heart. She was truly one of the most beautiful human beings God graced this earth with. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. With love and friendship, Pam

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this most difficult time. Pat and I worked at Elim Park on the 3-11 shift. She was a wonderful and caring person. We joked about putting a hose to your house and sending wine over to Elim. She will be missed Donna Dzubak CNA
Pat will certainly be missed by all of her friends and family. She was a former neighbor and friend. We both worked at Elim Park for many years. I always enjoyed her company at the many picnics at the Cusmanos and at Elim Park. Pat will be missed by us all.

Pat was one of the most wonderful loving/funny woman I have ever known. She would always have an ear to listen. I sure will miss our talks. Know she is with her lovely grandaughter now, at peace. And maybe my Dad joking it up. May God grace your family with comfort and peace at this difficult time. My prayers & sympathy. Love Janet & Jim
We will miss our monthly dinner dates with Gloria and John. Oh how Pat and I loved to chat abot weight watchers with a little success and a lot of laughs. Friends since high school, Pat, Gloria and I shared many good times. She will be missed so much- she was an awesome loving, giving person that has taught a lot of us about joy and sadness and the importance of prayer. God bless your beautiful family always.
Dave We want you to know that you and your family have been in our prayers and thoughts. So sorry for your loss of your Mother. Love Jan + family
Dave, I am so very sorry to hear of your mom passing. My deepest sympathy and sincere condolences go out to you and your family.
Pat was my dear friend, a lovely combination of a mother, a sister and a friend. I’ll miss our weekly .girls nights. out to weight watchers. She and I would laugh about how successfully unsuccessful we were and how our weekly dues were buying the four walls and the chairs we’d sit our fat as*es in ea week rather than our weight loss. She was a stich. Even in the darker moments she was a bright light who always found a way to laugh. She’d recount the shenanigans of her grandkids ea week with such love and humor. They truly made her life rich and full. The love and pride for her family was fierce and always present in her life. She’d do anything for anyone without a second thought. I’m blessed to have had Pat as part of my life. I’ll miss her dearly. May God give you all the strength to move forward at this sad and difficult time. Much love, Bonnie
Ed – we are so sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. I realize this must be a very difficult time for you and Tanya as you mourn her passing. May God comfort you both and your family during this difficult time. Ben and Linda Blackburn
