My dear Pat, this Patricia is going to miss you so much. Rich & I got to know her when we moved to the neighborhood just four years ago...much too short of time. So enjoyed visiting with her....when I said goodbye just the other day, no way did I think that God would answer our prayers so fast. The angels were definitely watching over her. God speed dear sweet lady, you will be missed by many. .... Hugs and prayers to the family.... Love from that "Chicken Coop" number :)

Pat was not only our son-in-law's mother, she was a dear friend. We shared grandchildren together and had good times at the family gatherings! Pat, You will be missed, however, it is comforting to know that you are in heaven meeting Jesus!!!

I send my love and deepest sympathy. Your mom and grandmother was the kindest and most sincere woman. I remember walking down the aisle at her wedding, feeling very special to to attend her wedding, at 5 years old. I remember fondly the family gatherings; a bridal shower she hosted for me; the friendship she shared with mom and her gentle ways. Aunt Pat will be remembered and greatly missed. Love~ Penny Dressel

I hardly know where to begin....I had the good fortune and it was a privilege to work for Niff’s Central Service AKA “ Niffs Standard” from 1964-1968...Pat’s passing has resurrected many memories from that time....Some of the best years of my life were on the drive pumping gas, in the wash rack cleaning cars, and making new friends as they came through the front door needing Bill’s attention...Thank you Bill and Pat for helping to prepare me for life... Love Always, Dougell Ass (Family Joke)

Pat was a dear friend of my sister's (Helen Salasky) since high school years. Many tears and laughs were shared over a cup of tea. I was fortunate to share some of those moments with them. Pat was a sincere, compassionate women that radiated love for her family and friends. Helen is unable to attend the services for Pat but please know she as well as all her family are in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless!

I didn't know Pat, but I have worked with two of her children, Chris and Kevin, at Palisades for the past several years. She must have been a saint to have endured those two.

Pat was a wonderful lady. I was repeatedly touched and inspired by her undying faith and positive attitude. She always radiated warmth and love. It was a privilege to be her pastor. I will miss her loving, supportive hugs following the Encounter service. Grace and peace to all of you.
