Pat was a special woman. We became friends while helping mutual friends move from North Freedom to Baraboo. Then we attended Monday night chapel too. She always had a smile and a kind word, helped anyone who would allow her that privilege, and loved her family deeply. I’m thankful God placed us together for 20 years.

Pat was a faithful and loyal servant of Jesus Christ who was willing to help anyone who needed a hand up. I loved spending time with her. Pat's encouragement from scripture and personal experience to me was always right on time and a comfort to me. See you in heaven Pat!!
