She was my sister, though we didn't get the chance to visit or talk much. I knew she was always there if I wanted to talk. She left a great legacy and she will be missed.

I worked with Pat many years ago at Des Moines General. We kept in touch through Christmas cards each year. She was always thoughtful and caring in her letters. Her laughter was unmistakeable and infectious. She was always supportive, kind hearted and loving. I am truly blessed to have known her.

We are so very sorry to learn of the passing of your wife/mom. The last time Bill talked to her was in South Ridge Mall many years ago. Bill told me that she asked about me and how was I doing with all my medical woes. I was happy to know her. May God be with her and your family in this time of sorrow.
