She was my go-to gal in chemistry for many years at St. Peter’s because not only was she extremely knowledgeable, but she was friendly and willing to share that knowledge as well- she will be missed. I’m so sorry for your loss.

June 12, 2012 at 4:03 pmThe last memory I have of Pat is when she called me out to see the new dog that you adopted. She was smiling from ear to ear. I will always remember how happy Abby made her. Pat was a good friend and when i cross trained in Chemistry several years ago, she was always there to lend a hand and help me out. She will be missed. Pat and her family are in my prayers.

So sorry for your loss.
Pat and I worked together @St.Peter’s
She was always pleasant and helpful to me.
For a time, Pat was my patient which allowed me to get to know
her on a deeper level. She was a joy. I will miss her.

Chrissy, do you remember me??? OLA?????
I was so very surprised and saddened to read of your sister Patty’s passing! My mouth just dropped!
Please accept my deepest and sincerest sympathy for your loss…
I have such fond memories of your mom and sisters coming to visit me at my home on Canton Street, and adorning my daughter Stacey with such a multitude of beautiful and appreciated gifts. We still have the Christmas stockings that either you, Carol, Patty, or your mom crocheted!!! (My memory is not THAT good!)
My prayers will be with you all in the time ahead.
You and your family are in my thoughts,
