Pat will be truly missed. Not a day went by that she didn't tell me she loved me and she was so glad to see me. We laughed together and cried together. She gave me advice and corrective criticism. Everyday with her was an adventure from hearing her stories of the past but her current events recaps were like no other. Pat definitely left her imprint on my heart and I will never forget her. It's hard not being able to celebrate her birthday with her today but we are having Cheetos Puffs today!!! In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.
