I was so sad to learn of Pat's passing...my sincerest condolences to her family. It was nice to see her this Summer... knocking on my door with her contagious smile and a few hours of reminiscing of motorcycling adventures, our pets, her work and most of all - the obvious love and pride of her family. RIP, Pat...you left this world a better place.

Our most sincere condolences to all.
The "in lieu of flowers" suggestion is a perfect representation of Pat.
When our family is lucky enough to again be together we will include Pat in our prayer and thoughts.

I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of such a lovely lady. I worked with Pat at the DOL in the 90s. We ran into each other now and again She was really nice.... intelligent, witty, and fun to converse with! We covered so many subjects whenever we ran into each other.
The world has truly lost a rare pearl and now the heavens have her!!! My condolences to her partner Rodney and family.... words are inadequate at this time but, I hope the comfort of family and friends can help you through this difficult time of loss. May she rest in peace.
Sincerely, Mary P.

I also had the opportunity to know Pat through work at the Department of Labor years ago. She made a difference just with her presence

I am so sorry to hear about Pat. We have not seen each other for several years, but spent a lot of time on (Republican Concerns) over the years. She was delightful and always helped get those petitions in no matter what. She was truly a great person. I will remember her always.

I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. Your Mom was someone you never forget! She was sassy, opinionated, and outspoken on issues that concerned her. She was dedicated to her work, politics but most importantly, her family. There was never a time when we spoke that she didn't give me the full run down on what everyone was up to in the family. She will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

The last time I saw Pat she was telling me about job hunting in the south and her recent adventures.I told her to get retired and get out of the office and really enjoy life..I saw this obituary and still think of her every time I pass the college and wonder if she ever got around to retiring.What a great lady! She's missed more than you will ever know,she helped so many!

From the moment I met Pat at the Employment Center, we were instantly the closest of friends. I adored her and she also showed me so much true compassion and understanding; and I believe that I will never have a truer friend , ever. I will forever miss her. I miss her words of knowledge, as if there was nothing that she did not understand. I can say that I never wanted to leave her side ,every chance I got to sit and talk with her. , We laughed together, and we cried together......I wish I could speak to her one more time. If anyone of her children would reach out to me, Id really appreciate that, as I miss her every day. 567-3185. 12 Bristol Ave Auburn NY 13021. I am so very sad about her .

I TESTED POSITIVE FOR HSV-2 A FEW MONTHS AGO.
At first, Yes, I was devastated thinking I have an incurable STD for life. After doing hours of research I quickly realized genital herpes is a filthy parasite that just likes to hide in your body. Yes, There’s no “medical cure” but that doesn’t mean your body can’t get rid of it. I literally flush it out of my system with the help of Doctor Azuka, A natural herbal medicine which I ordered after doing some research. And now I’m HSV-2 negative, I never believed it until my doctor finally gave me the test results and behold I was HSV-2 free. I’m so glad that I found you, Doctor Azuka. Thanks so much for your goodness I’m grateful. You can also get your help from him through his

My ex-husband and I had always managed to stay friendly after our divorce in February 2017. But I always wanted to get back together with him, All it took was a visit to this spell casters website last December, because my dream was to start a new year with my husband, and live happily with him.. This spell caster requested a specific love spell for me and my husband, and I accepted it. And this powerful spell caster began to work his magic. And 48 hours after this spell caster worked for me, my husband called me back for us to be together again, and he was remorseful for all his wrong deeds. My spell is working because guess what: My “husband” is back and we are making preparations on how to go to court and withdraw our divorce papers ASAP. This is nothing short of a miracle. Thank you Dr Emu for your powerful spells. Words are not enough.
