I had the pleasure of knowing and helping Pat for almost 2 years.  I just thought I was her helper but after finding out about her passing, I realized I had just lost one of the best friends I have ever had.  I also now know she was one strong woman!!!  She took a lot and never retaliated.  I miss her horribly and there is a hole in my life!  I don't ever recall her saying one bad thing about anyone.  She was totally non judgmental, patient, kind and always wanted to help less fortunate folks.  I know she believed in God and prayed often for me and her little dog, Cuddles.  I sure wish she was still here.
