What a loss of a wonderful person, Pat was so sweet, so smart, and so compassionate. She cared about others before herself, she would help anybody that needed it. I will truly miss her because she was a wonderful friend. I met her through Phylis and the two of them. We’re like two peas in a pod. I’m so sorry for your loss, she will always be in my heart. I love you, Pat, my honey bunny. -Robin Benkowich
Aunt pat was one of the most wonderful people I have ever met in my life. She was always kind, never hesitated to lend an ear, or a hand, and never judged others. She made it to every family gathering and always had something wise to say to me, her tay tay. She will be immensely missed, but I take solace in knowing she’s at peace now, in a better place. Love you so much aunt pat, and miss you more. -Taylor Gussman
