I just met Pat a year ago, and what a great person she was. Very sweet and kind, a true and loyal friend. There is a huge void in our office, and she will be greatly missed. May she find peace now that she has joined her husband in eternity. God Bless her family during this difficult time.

Our deepest sympathies to the entire Jones family; may The Beatitudes ease your sorrow. "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted..." Matthew 5:3-4

I used to work with Pat at LandAmerica/Lawyers Title. I always found her to be a very cheerful and pleasant person to be around. Unfortunately, as has been said, "The good die young, It seems like Pat should have had many more days on this planet, but apparently God needed her elsewhere. I will not be able to attend her services but I wanted to extend my condolences.

I worked with Pat for many many years. I will miss her and our little chats very much. Our corner of the office will never be the same. My heart is with her family (and Rambo) during this time.

Pat was a wonderful neighbor who always had a friendly wave and a smile. She will be missed on our block. Our sincere condolences to her family and friends during this very difficult time. May Pat be at peace and with her beloved Don now.
