Our memories of Pat are staggering. Pat always gave of herself to others. She was the kindest, sweetest, most loving wife, mom, grandmother, sister, aunt, neighbor and friend anyone could ever know or want. She will be missed more than she could ever have imagined! She is now with our Lord who will cherish her even more than we did. Our sympathies go to Dennis, Melissa, Dennis, Jr. and her entire loving and wonderful family. Patty, you will forever remain in our hearts and in our minds.
