Dear Ron,
Your beloved wife taught every one of our six children when she was at St. John’s school. They all have such fond memories of their kindergarden class. It was a gift as a parent to know our children were slated to be in Pat’s class. We knew because of her astute perception she would be able to call forth their amazing gifts. She made school fun and as a result they are all life long learners. When I told the kids she had passed on they said she was the kindest teacher they had ever had and they loved school because of her. A great light has gone yet it shines forever in all the students so blessed to have been touched by Pat. Our deepest condolences to you and your family.
