I can't say enough about this wonderful lady! We were Besties! We could share anything with each other without judgement of each other's opinion. I miss her terribly! I can't imagine how much her family will miss her; especially her husband Steve, who will miss her most! I will keep the memories of this beautiful person in my heart and mind forever!

I wish we had reconnected.  We just got busy raising kids and life. I remember our girl scout leadership years with our kids and how wonderful and giving she was. A true lady with a big heart.

Mom had one of the best hearts of anyone I ever knew. She loved to laugh and loved to hear everyone around her laugh. She had a spirit of the ages and an outlook on life that few have ever had. She always welcomed anyone who just wanted to talk or hang out. Stevie and her family were the most important things in this world to her. Her love for Stevie and their story has always inspired me to never settle and hang on for the wild ride as it will be worth it. She had a wisdom from life that few would ever share. She made you slow down and think about what matters, stay in the moment, and love with all of your heart. She always looked to the bright side and laughed through the pain. She loved friends and family fiercely and had a wit that would throw caution to the wind while inciting the opposing to bring their best game to the table because she was not backing down. The way she saw the world was limitless and she only gave a peak through her art. She gave the best hugs and always had a wonderful welcome reminding anyone who entered those doors that she was happy to see you. She was my Mom away from Mom and among the very best friends, I could ever ask for. She was family and irreplaceable to many. My thoughts, prayers, hugs, and condolences to Stevie, the kids, and the grandkids. You are forever in my heart and the wisdom you gave me will continue to be a part of my life for the better days to come as I know you are with us all and watching over us. 

Patty was an awesome friend! She will be missed by so many people.  She will always hold a special spot in my heart ❤️.  My thoughts and prayers to all of the family.  I am so glad I got to spend time with her before she passed.  Heaven gained an angel 😇 

Mom was always so caring always smiling super fun cool easy to talk to. We talked for a long time  my husband said that Vera has a true Angel watching over her. Vera is my soon to be 1 year old. Thankfully Vera had the opportunity to meet Nana. This is very very difficult beyond difficult. Michelle is my best friend always has been always will be and she is so strong. Stays strong for her entire family.  I’m so proud of Her for the strength she has demonstrated during and while grieving the loss of Mom. words can’t begin to express how loved and missed she truly is.

Pat was an exceptional woman! The love she had for everyone was amazing. I’ve known this family most of my life and not only was i the “babysitter” i was a friend and family. Pat always had that safe place i could come to and that gentle heart i could tell all my secrets to with no judgment,  just love. She will be missed dearly.  I will  carry her spirit in my heart and the stories i tell.

Our sincere sympathies to you and your family. Patty was such a good neighbor and friend. A real spitfire!  We have many good memories. Rest in Peace Patty. 

With deepest sympathy to the Auerbach family. Pat was an amazing woman with a heart of gold! Heaven gained a special 😇 angel. Pat will be forever in our hearts and memories ❤️ Sending prayers & love to you all. Cheryl Smith
