Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
You have my deepest sympathies on the loss of Pat. I worked with her for many years at St. Joseph hospital, and could always count on her as staff, and as a person. She was the most caring person, and she will be missed greatly. May God bless all of you, in this time of sorrow. Sincerely, Cathy Ashley (formerly Morrow)
My deepest sympathy to Pat’s immediate and extended family, especially Ilene. Your strong faith will help ease your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Mike, I am sorry to hear about the passing of your Mom. I remember your Mom at all of the basketball games. My thoughts are with you and your family. Steve Fitch
To Pat’s grieving family – I worked with Pat at St. Joseph Family Practice. Our department was always more fun and more lively when Pat was there. Every time I think of Pat I smile – just so many fun times. Like when we were going over to lunch and a low-hanging limb caught her hairpiece – she just laughed and put it back on and we were on our way. She was so very proud of her children. Fun-lovng Pat – until we meet again.
