My sincerest sympathy to the entire family on the loss of this remarkable woman. She remained wonderfully sharp and fully present in the lives of those she loved right up until the end, a true gift, and a reflection of the vibrant woman she always was. I will always remember sharing Thanksgiving at her welcoming table when I was young and unable to go to my own home for the holiday. Pat has left the legacy of a wonderful and loving family, and that is perhaps the greatest testament to who she was. She will be deeply missed by so many. With love and sympathy, Fred and Cheech
