So sorry for your loss! Pat was such a beautiful, strong woman who touched many lives, including mine. I have so many fond memories of her, memories of playing at the Sinclair house as a child and being loved by such a great family. I got the joy of seeing Chuck and Pat frequently when I worked at Carlisle Elementary when they would come visit their granddaughters for lunch or for a special event. We got a quick chance to catch up each time they were there. Pat had such a loving soul. She will be greatly missed! Love all of you! You are in my prayers.

If ever there was "saint" on earth, it was Pat. She always, always put a positive spin on her health throughout this entire ordeal. When asked how she was feeling,she said
"no worry, I've got prayers on my side". She was more concerned with others showing that happy smile that everyone knew.Our prayers are with Chuck and your family.

Uncle Chuck & family, words can not convey the loss we feel for Aunt Pat. She had a huge kind heart and was a very strong person. The love for her family was shown on a daily basis. We were blessed to be a part of that family & love. Aunt Pat's faith kept her spirits high & allowed her to enter heaven peacefully. We will always remember her smile and kindness. We love you all! May God's love help heal your hearts.
