Pat was my favorite relative.

She was always kind to me and insisted every time I went home to visit that I stay at her home.

I have not forgotten her and miss her to this day

My sympathies to Nicole and her Family. Pat didn't care much for ME dating her daughter. My memory of her was knowing all the best places to eat, she turned me on to my #1 favorite pizza joint in Chicago.

I am shocked !
even though I have lived far from the hometown I would go and visit Pat every few years and pal around with her.
I'd call her every 2-3 months and she would send me emails now and then.
I tried calling her like in Dec 2013 and sent emails to her with no response and then her phone was no longer valid

Just thought of doing a internet search and found this.
What a shock as last time I talked to Pat she said she had been ill but was doing better

She was my favorite family member and we always had good times together and never a cross word
I'll miss her and hope the kids take care of the bird and cat she had !

I am so sorry for the passing of this lovely lady. I wish I would have known yesterday so I could have paid my respects to her.. I am a member of the Moose Lodge in Lombard, which is where I met Pat. One time she lost the stone out of her engagement ring. I found it and she bought me a beautiful bracelet in return. I told her that was not necessary but she said she was so happy I found it. She was such a nice women. She will be missed. My sympathies to the family.

Jeanette and I are deeply saddened by Pat's passing. We will greatly miss the times we spent with her and the many lengthy conversations we had since we started traveling. I will miss the hundreds of E-mails she sent us each week. She sent a few junk ones but for the most part she had the knack to find ones that brightened our day and make us laugh. Our thoughts and prayers will always be with her as she travels on her new adventure.
