Tom, I am so sorry for your tremendous loss. I always enjoyed talking with Pat at City Hall and our occasional lunch or dinner dates. I loved her sense of humor and her wise advice. I was the mayor’s secretary when Pat worked in the finance office.
Pat will be missed greatly! I knew her from Prodisee Pantry where we had the best conversations and I loved her sense of humor. Such a sweet lady, I will never forget her friendship!
I’m a childhood friend. I loved Patricia so much! Growing up, she was so beautiful. Melvin and Susie–I’m sorry for your loss, love, Dani Shelton from Dade St.
To Pat’s family: I am so sorry to hear of Pat’s passing. Pat was such a great & caring supervisor at Delta & helped so many people. I always enjoyed being on her team. I thought about Pat many of times fighting cancer. Now you are at peace & cancer free. You will be missed by many. Sharon Love Preuss
