My condolences to the family of a model nurse. My fondest memories of Pat are of her in her crisp white uniform with her nurses' cap, such a professional! At times I wished we could clone her!

So sorry about the passing of your mom. I remember Mrs. Lee as stern yet she had a trill or giggle in her voice when she spoke, as if to find humor or the lighter side of things. I remember Karen sharing how much her dad loved Ground Hog's Day, how she and her dad made Ground Hog's Day cards. My dad said someone in the Lee family put out Marv's Ground Hog's Day flag yesterday. My dad said Marv probably (somehow) knew he got to meet up again with the love of his life on Ground Hog's Day.

My sympathy on the passing of your mom. She was not only a very good nurse, but a wonderful and caring human being. No matter what was happening on the PM shift, Pat maintained her cool, thus calming a difficult situation. I loved working with her. She will be greatly missed.

Dear Friends, I was so very sorry to hear that Pat passed away. I have such fond memories of her during her nursing years at St. Clare. Whenever I was an inpatient and Pat was taking care of me, I knew I would be in the very best of care. I loved that she wore her white dress uniform and nurse's cap. I hold you all in my heart. My deepest sympathies.

Dennis my husband, and I send our deepest condolences. I spent so many years at her childhood home in Astico. Rode her bike on the Burma road, She thought of me as the young brat she put up with. I was 5 years younger. Juniir, Pat, my dear brother Hank and myself spent summers together helping care for Stokleys harvest crews in Astico. These days with Pat"s family were my happiest young years.. Pat was the sister I never had and I loved her beyond the years and always will. She will always be held in my highest esteem. Much live, Pat, rest in peace and give everyone my love. Love Marilyn, your bratty cousin.
