I have such pleasant memories of playing in the big kitchen in Glen Ellyn and Pat would be quickly knitting, she was light hearted and funny, attributes a child warms to, appreciates and remembers. My sympathies and prayers to her loving family.

I will truly miss Pat's laughter and our conversations. She told me on occasion that Chocolate makes her feel happy. I first met Pat with Martin for the official World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C. on May 29, 2004. It was a nice gift of friendship during the next 4 years.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

I was so sorry to hear of the passing of Aunt Pat. My memory of Aunt Pat is visiting her house in Glen Ellyn and having her say,"I will race you to the store for donuts" How much fun!!! On one of those visits i was given some china horse figurines by one of her daughters. I still have them. Please accept my condolences on the passing of your Mom.

Bridge and "Alfie's" were things that I enjoyed with Pat. Many times her 'words of wisdom' helped me get through some tough moments. Her humor and kindness I will never forget.

I have fond memories of Aunt Pat. When we did not have a penny to our names, Aunt Pat would show up at our house in Glen Ellyn with a box of donuts. We had many great Christmas dinners with Pat at our house. She will be missed by all of us.

I have great memories of staying at Aunt Pat's home in Glen Ellyn and playing cards with Joan for hours; climbing to the attic to check out old prom dresses; playing with cousins and having fun in a very lively household. Aunt Pat had lots of energy and kept everyone moving.

Pat was a dear friend & neighbor. We're so glad we were able to catch up for lunch a few times after she moved from our building. We loved seeing her & Marty, they were always such an inspiration. Pat, we'll miss you - may God bless you!
