Miss you always and thinking of you. Getting married in the fall…you never got to meet Taylor but I think you’d love him. He’s great to the boys, who I wish you could see now too. They are 6 and 9 and so cool. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

3 years ago today you became an angel, but seems much much longer. Some days are better than others. The other day as I was watching your precious great granddaughter, Rogue, I was thinking how much you would've loved and adored her. Wish you were here to see all of your great grands grow up. To hear your voice, to be in your presence will not be known to her, but I'm sure as heck going to brag about how I had the best momma ever! I'll be sure to tell all of them that you're watching over them. ❤️

Happy birthday in heaven Mom. You always said life was never supposed to be easy. It's even harder now that your gone. You gave us comfort, wisdom, and had done everything in your power to keep us safe. I feel loss always, and feel lost sometimes too when I look for that wisdom and comfort and you are not there.. You were our hero and always will be. Love and miss you always

Happy Birthday Mom

One year ago we lost our Mom, but Heaven truly gained an Angel. Although so many memories are left behind, life will never be the same, until we
are together again. Love and miss you Mom

1 year ago, you left to be in the glorious presence of God. I and all who knew you in this world miss you and remember you with the love and respect that you hopefully got while you were still here. I will never forget how you helped me grow, helped me cope, told me when I was wrong or if I was right. You shaped me, showed me your strength, and I learned so much from you. I wasn't done learning from you. I wasn't done loving you and showing that I cared so deeply for you. I hope I can learn more stories about your life. I hope that I can make you proud, even in heaven. I hope that my children and my grandkids, and so on, will have the values instilled on me, because I try to teach them what you taught me.:To be kind, be strong, give of yourself,and be the best person you can be every day. I miss you more than words can ever say.

A year has passed and I have survived, the year. It was not a fun year because I lost my best friend/sister. Nothing will ever be the same for me. You are the one who taught me to move on and continue to live, after Jim, my Mom and also Antonio. it’s hard but I am trying to move on.
You are truly missed every day.

I met Pat and her sister Mickey at Bunco, among a group of Wickenburg friends. I cherished the time I spent talking to Pat; she had an inside twinkle in her eyes, even when she wasn't feeling well. I wish that I had known her longer, but she struck me as a person of strong loyalties with a dedication to family and friends. I will miss her smiles at bunco. God Bless.

Pat, a representation of a strong woman. regardless of age or health, nobody could tell her she can not do something. always willing to help others even if she did not know them. celebrated other people's success.
Not a friend, but family. She will always be remember.
Go NY Yankees!!!

What a dear friend. Filled with fun, laughter and love. We will truly miss Pat. Going on is hard for those left behind. Knowing Pat is at peace and suffering no more will eventually give comfort to those who loved her.

Pat was a very generous person, always willing to help. She treated my wife and me like a family. I remember when we were expecting for our first child, she helped us a lot without expecting anything in return. we are eternally grateful to her.

I am still shocked and so sad... Pat was like family to me. When I moved to the USA in 2013 I had the chance to meet Monica (Thanks Airbus) and her Mamas Pat & Mickey when they offer me to go to Connecticut for my first Thanksgiving in the US. Even if Pat didn’t know me at this time! Since this trip I was not alone in Maryland anymore...I had more than friends I found a Family. Pat was very nice with me even if she had trouble to understand my English sometimes ^^ We spent many dinners, celebrations, trips and laughs together before she moved to AZ.
In 2015 I moved back to France but Pat & Mickey visited me for Thanksgiving that year. I was so happy to have my American Family at home. We went to Portugal together and I shared the bedroom with Pat. We were always in touch, they sent me postcards from their travel and I sent them postcards from mine. I came to Morristown twice after that.
Last time I saw Pat was last November we spent another Thanksgiving and good memories together and when I told her I will fly back to France from Vegas she offered me to drive me there. It was my last trip with her and Mickey.
When I knew she was at the hospital last week I never thought it will end like this... Pat even if she was thin was so strong. But she is gone now and I will miss her a lot. I will never forget her. Rest in peace Pat. Adieu....

I can’t believe I am doing this now... a memorial for mama Pat... can’t wrap my head around that thought... but as tough as it is, I will honor her the best way I can.

When I needed a place to stay, Mickey and Pat helped me and welcomed me into their home not once but twice. I too, stayed a little longer but who wouldn’t? The first time I moved there, I got super sick and she picked me up from work, took me to the dr, fed me and took care of me as my mom would...

We had a way of saying “how you doing” to each other which we kept for many years. We had so much fun, I remember crying from laughing too much when they told me the stories, like when they pretended to talk to themselves so that they wouldn’t be robbed. Or the day someone gave us “double birds” in Rockville...

She enjoyed driving so much!!! Going on road trips... and traveling... so many memories too.

She loved people with such selflessness and her giving heart truly touched many of us. Age was very kind and giving with my friends who needed help and my family.

I honestly believe to have met Pat, was to know God exists. My life is much better because she was part of it and taught me so much. I’m a better human being because of her and her love for me.

I will forever miss her.

I have to share one of my favorite stories. Pat and I took a road trip to go visit Mickey when she first moved to Maryland. We stopped at a gas station to fill up my car. While I was pumping gas Pat went into the store. I moved the car and went into store (obviously missing each other in passing) I came out of the store and Pat wasn't in my car....yup she was in another car that looked just like mine at the gas pump! If you could have seen the guy look at me look at her in his car it was priceless. We were laughing so hard, I am laughing now remembering a dear friend and all the laughs we had together. 
I'd be remiss not to mention she took me in when I needed a place to live, and lets just say, I stayed awhile. 
She loved her family and friends, and Mickey, she couldn't have asked for a better sister.
Love you all, God Bless my friend until we meet again.

I remember a hard working, tough as nails woman with a wide open door. 
I remember "quiet time" during sleepovers, and one of my favorite memories is riding in the car with her listening to country music, the song I most remember, "Behind closed doors":

I am so sorry for this loss but she lives on in memory for so many.

My Heart Is Broken

You were the best friend a person could have had. You were more to me than a friend, you were sister, a mentor, a confidant, and an inspiration. I know that life goes on but what will we do without you? 

We had some great time, sad times and funny times. So many great memories that I can't just pick one.

You are in very good hands and I know you are watching over us.

I spent so much time at your house as a child. Me and Cheryl were always hanging out, and Pat was so welcoming. I remember one time of many we were playing in the swamp and we fell in up to our knees, soaked and dirty. I was so worried my Mom would find out because she specifically told me to stay out of the swamp. Pat graciously washed and dried my clothes for me so I wouldn't get in trouble. I was eternally grateful. I also remember the dogs she'd bring home from the pound so they wouldn't be euthanized. She had a big heart and was such a hard worker. I have very fond memories of her and her kindness, I know she will be missed by many.❤

My grandma Pat was incredibly selfless, strong, and thoughtful. More than anyone else I've known. 
As a kid I was slightly "afraid" of her...my sister Jenny and cousin Krystal, and i, used to argue about who had to ask her to use her computer for games. She used to say "brats!" When we whined and she was totally right. She always spoke the truth with anything. We grew out of being afraid when we stopped being huge brats!(lol)
She showered us kids with mountains of gifts on Christmas at her house. She always tried to provide to who needed the most, not just the kids. Anyone can tell you about that. Perhaps giving what she never had, but never wanted anything in return, very seriously.
Her thoughtfulness continued with my two kids. She ordered science kit subscriptions for my 6 year old. She sent us sneakers when we needed them. Just a couple days before she passed, she let me know she ordered a year of national geographic magazines for my kids for a year. Always thinking of others/her family. We'll think of her and talk about her every time they come each month.
I regret so much not asking her so many things. I should have taken the initiative to (pry) a little bit. I know what I need to know about her character as I think we all do. The most respectable woman, mother, grandmother, friend, companion, person.

Oh my Lord... where do I start when writing about my Mom. Growing up if I asked too many questions, she would always say “what are you writing a book Cher?” Well Mom... yes I guess I would have to write a book to describe your profound impact on everyone’s life that you touched! I’ll try not to write that book here though :). I am one of 4 children to be blessed to have Patricia as my Mother. She was the most unselfish and gracious person on the planet. From a rough childhood herself, she managed to raise 4 children on her own while continually working 3 jobs. Many times she struggled to make ends meet, but she always gave what she had to others and never turned anyone away. She was the epitome of kindness and compassion. She opened up her home to family and friends for extended periods of time and always went without so others could have what they needed. Truly a completely selfless mother and friend. She accomplished so much in her lifetime. From being the Dog Warden in Middlebury for over 25 years, to a Middlebury Police officer and eventually retiring as a State Police Dispatcher. She always held multiple jobs and did whatever was necessary to keep Debbie, Bo, Heather and I clothed and fed. We may not of had a lot, but she made darn sure we had what we needed. And most of all we needed her! She sacrificed her life for ours and for that we are eternally grateful. Through all of her hard work, strength and perseverance... she never complained! Even though she suffered with some health issues, she always pushed forward. Among her many great one liners... she’d always say...”just put some elbow grease into it!” She taught us everything... from work ethic to gratitude and grace. She truly touched and changed so many lives here and she will be greatly missed, but always remembered and celebrated. And of course, one of her most famous sayings “hey...when it’s your time to go, it’s your time to go”. It is now her time to go, to go home to the Lord and be in peace. And we won’t say good-bye, we’ll say see you soon Mom... and she’d say, “make sure your home for dinner”. Ooh, I hope she’s making sauce! 

Mom, you were the strongest, kindest person I know or ever will. I'll miss EVERYTHING about you.
