I am so sorry to hear of your Loss, Jim. I knew you two before you were married. We had our children about the same time. Watched them grow and let a few miles separate us. May God watch over your family during this very transitional time.
Your friend always.

She was a WONDERFUL woman to all who knew her and a mom to many who weren't her actual children. I knew her for many years since I've been friends with her youngest(Jackie) since first grade. She's free from pain now and in the presence of our lord now. Love yah momma G!!!!

I worked in the kitchen with Pat on two Emmaus Walks.
She was in charge of desserts for the few diabetic pilgrims. I remember how much care she put into creating a "treat" which looked and tasted just as yummy as the desserts that others were enjoying. She was really dedicated to healthy food and making the diabetics not feel like they were missing anything.

Pat was a lovely person to work with and to spend time with. She was always positive and loving to those around her.

I didn't spend a great deal of time with her after our Emmaus team experiences, but I remember her with great fondness and I was so saddened to see her name among the obits when I was checking for a Portage church member's name.

My sympathies to her family.
