What a sweet & special person Pat was. She never met a stranger & was such a joy to be around. Her laughter & fun spirit were contagious. She was a beautiful blessing & will be so missed. Praying for peace & comfort for Moe and her family in this unexpected loss. Unexpected to us but in God's perfect timing. Although we grieve her physical loss, we are rejoicing with her in her new heavenly home. We certainly look forward to reuniting with her in heaven. Love you, sweet Pat!

I was so saddened to hear of Pat’s passing. Pat and Moe have been long time friends from our old church in Mansfield, Texas.
I can’t begin to recount the many things our “travel group” did together. From cruises to Hill Country trips, or just get togethers in each other’s homes, Pat was always at the center of it all. I can’t recall a kinder, fun loving person in my life. As has already been mentioned, she had the most infectious laugh I have ever heard. You could be in a large crowd and never see her, but that laugh was unmistakable. You knew Pat was in the house when you heard it and that meant get ready to have fun.
Pat and I were always kidding one another and she would often come up behind me to poke me and then she would hide. If you were lucky enough to be on the receiving end of her pranks you knew you were loved and that feeling was mutually shared in return.
The world has lost one of the good ones and Kathy and I feel that loss personally, as so many have mentioned.
May God wrap his loving arms around Moe and all the family and know that we send our deepest condolences!

We were blessed to have Pat with us in our Bible Study for the past 4 years. We started our study of the book of “Revelation” last September. We are now half way through and looking forward to getting to the end, where we will see all things made new. We are encouraged that Pat is now witnessing what we are looking forward to.
“God will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”
Revelation 21:4

Pat was one of the funniest and "funnest" people I have ever known. She was also one of the most honest people I have ever known. What you saw is what you got! She and I did a lot of fun things together and I loved her dearly. And Pat loved deeply - her family, her friends, and her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I would like to tell God He took her too soon, and in my human heart that is true, but as a fellow believer, I know He took her to be with Him in His perfect time. My dear, sweet Pat, you will be greatly missed here on this earth, but praise God, we will see each other again in Glory.

Mo, I am so sorry to hear of Pat’s passing. She was always smiling and carried an aura of joy with her presence.

Through my long friendship with Pat, she taught me that there are basically two types of people: There are your energy “givers”, who immediately add energy to a room by their mere presence, and your energy “takers”, who literally suck the energy right out of a room. Pat was an all-encompassing energy “giver”. When she entered the room, you could feel the surge of energy. The atmosphere immediately became more positive, more hopeful, and more exciting. You just knew, no matter what kind of day you were having, things were going to get better. Pat always brought the party (and along with it, plenty of laughs). Pat was simply, joy.
Of course, with the party feel you had to endure her child-like teasing. I always had to keep my eye on where she was in the room, so she couldn’t sneak up on me and start repetitively poking me and saying “Hey”. It was “hey”…[poke]…”hey”…[poke]…”hey”…[poke]. Once she started it was like fighting off gnats. It was SO ANNOYING!! But, as I reflect on those times and think about how much she loved life and other people, I’d give anything for a 100 more of those pokes.
So, until we reunite, rest well, my friend. You are so missed. God gained a really good one.

We are all just stunned by Pat’s passing. We met at church & turned out to be neighbors. Our boys enjoyed spending time together & Pat always was a sport to host them and their antics. Pat taught me counted cross-stitch, taking me to a meeting weekly. The Moline’s moved so long ago, but we still point out their house when we drive by. Moe, we are all praying for all of you, knowing God will supply all your needs.
Love, Dana, Shirley, and all the gang.

Our heartfelt condolences to Moe and family. I remember sitting in her kitchen as she made leftover turkey soup for all of us the day we visited. Her home was full of cheerful laughter and loads of love. I was sad when they moved to VA. but would visit via Facebook to keep in touch. So glad we will see each other in Heaven. What a grand day that will be. Love you Pat...

We were sorry to hear of the unexpected loss of Pat. Moe and I had not been in touch for many years due to distance, but the past several years we were able to reconnect in person. We were so happy to finally meet Pat and catch up with Moe. I bonded with Pat right away. Her love of family came shining through and she sure had a heart of gold. She and my cousin, Moe, were perfect for one another. Moe and I shared some childhood memories and the 4 of us made some new ones together. Prayers for strength, comfort and peace in the days ahead.
