Pat was one of the kindest people I have ever met. I will always be grateful for everything she has done for my family. My deepest sympathy to the entire Townsend Family. May wonderful memories help comfort you during this difficult time.

Pat was a wonderful neighbor. We loved our over-the-fence chats with her while the kids played in the yard and she sat with her book. We will miss her very much.

My deepest condolences go out to the entire Townsend Family. Pat was such a kind, fun and loving soul. She, and her whole family, were truly a second family to my late grandmother, Barbara. Words cannot express my gratitude to her and the family for that.

I will never forget the many memories from my childhood involving Pat; learning to play cards with her, Russ and my grandmother at their kitchen table and playing with their dog, Max. All of which are seemingly simple memories, yet I will cherish each for a lifetime.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all mourning this loss. May you all find comfort in the many wonderful memories of Pat as you celebrate her life.
