I worked at SFH from 1981-1987 and was fortunate to know Pat at that time and have her as my boss. I always enjoyed her pleasant personality and keen wit. My condolences to all her family.

Brigid & family,

I was so sorry to hear about Pat's death. Mom had been keeping me updated. Brigid, mom sent your greetings the last time she saw you. Send me an email when you get a chance ([email protected]).

We're keeping you all in our prayers.

Pat was a great classmate at SFH, always there for everyone. Between her wonderful sense of humor, and her good common sense, she was a kind friend throughout the years.

My condolences to all.
