I was fortunate to work at Nazareth House when Pat lived there. I was a caregiver and Activity Director. I so very much enjoyed my interactions with her and her family. She was funny, direct and so very kind. I spent quite a bit of time with her listening to her stories of her family that she so adored, her interactions with her many friends and her past. I loved looking at photos of her, her beloved husband, friends and family with her. I so appreciated that she always made a point of introducing me to her many visiting family members. My high point of each day was visiting her dining table that included her close friend Mary Hehr. I will treasure the laughs. I will always appreciate her advice and kindness. She was an extraordinary woman that blessed many with her friendship. She, and all of her family, will be in my prayers. God bless her and all of you.

I worked as an Advice nurse at Kaiser with Pat for years. I felt I knew all the family without ever meeting you all. She was an excellent nurse, and I could always count on her to consult and help me with advice decisions. I valued her help and her friendship. My condolences for all your family. She was a great lady. Kathy Grandemange
