I had the pleasure of sitting next to Pat the last almost 2 years.
I have lost my buddy, my sound board and friend. My heart is heavy with sorrow for all of you.
I feel like I know all of you so well.
First thing in the morning, Pat said Good Morning. How's your Mom? I would respond and ask her, How's your Mom? She brought the Red Eye newspaper each day to all the people who sat around her. She spoiled Jeremy, but he made her cd's to listen. She was soo happy the last week of her life, she was singing to Anita Baker songs, all day long....
We always called it our concert...

My prayers and thoughts are with all of you at this time. I sit and it saddens me to look at her empty desk and not hear her voice. What a great person who touched my life. I am blessed.

May her memory be eternal. God Bless all of you.

When you think of Pat Lewis, you immediately think of a good hearted person who enjoyed "living" life and tried to help everyone around her enjoy "living" life too.

I hope that good times and fond memories will comfort her family today, tomorrow, and forever.

My deepest sympathy to her loved ones during this difficult time.

Pat, you will truly be missed. I will miss your sense of humor and caring nature. The workplace was never the same after you left. Now the world won't be the same. But I keep smiling because I know He has you now & you are at peace.

I worked with Pat and she was always smiling, happy, and full of joy. That will be missed in the office. I also know how much she loved her son and grandchilden. It was such a delight to hear of the plans she had for the weekend or the holidays with family and friends.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Pat..Pat..Pat...I am still in total shock!! I still have your last voicemail. As children I remember how much your father adored you. You were his little princess. We have shared so much over the past decades. Thanks for being my rock during the death of Rodney and my Mom. I kept the pictures you sent me of Mike and the beautiful grandbabies on my mantelpiece. Remember when I told you that all of your children looked like little Pats. I feel as though a part of me has died. I loved you so much and I know that you knew that. I knew that you loved me too. You just checked out girl. Just like that! I know you are happy and at peace. Thank you Patricia. Right now I am thinking about your precious Mom. Much Much Love

To Patricia Lewis' family, my dear friend will always remain in my heart. She was an exceptional, kind and fun-loving young lady. Pat dearly loved her son, Michael, and her two precious grandsons. The special relationship with her mother meant a lot to her. The world is a much better place because Pat lived. I am truly blessed to have known Patricia.

Rest well Pat, your work was finished here on earth. I know we shall see each other again when I transition.
Until then I will treasure the good times shared i.e, laughter at the smallest things and our knowledge that family and friends were more precious than gold.

I will miss my dear friend.

Pat may God keep you in HIS loving arms. We know HE needs beautiful floweres too and therefore you were selected. Rest well until we might again on the other side.

To the family of Patricia ... I worked with Patricia and adored her. Both my parents recently passed away. Patricia lovingly invited me over for Thanksgiving dinner because she didn't want me to be alone.
What a beautiful, thoughtful woman she was. No one's death comes to pass without making some impression, and those close to Patricia inherit part of her liberated soul and become richer in their humanness. May you rest in peace, dear friend.
