Pat was such a sweet lady and a favorite customer of mine back in the day when she would come to the bank and I was working as a teller. I always enjoyed our chats. May God wrap His loving arms around you and give you Peace during this difficult time.

WE ARE SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT PAT. WE KNOW SHE IS NOT SUFFERING ANYMORE AND IS IN A BETTER PLACE. WE LOVE YA AND WISH WE WERE THERE TO BE WITH YOU BRIAN AND DEBBIE.

My thought and prayers for you in this time of sorrow. I want to share with you a favorite poem of mine and may you find some peace reading it. A wife, a mother, a grandma too, This is the legacy we have from you. You taught us love and how to fight, You gave us strength, you gave us might. A stronger person would be hard to find, And in your heart, you were always kind. You fought for us all in one way or another, Not just as a wife not just as a mother. For all of us you gave your best, Now the time has come for you to rest. So go in peace, you've earned your sleep, Your love in our hearts, we'll eternally keep

To Pat's Family: The staff at Saint Anthony X-ray Dept miss her and offer our sympathies to all of you. She was a wonderful co-worker and a terrific person. Our prayers are with you.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Mother and I send our love and thoughts for all of you. I wish I could be there. Love, Joyce

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

We will all miss Grandma Howe so much. The Great-Grandchildren will miss her stories and seeing her play with Max. She will be greatlly missed and will always be loved. We miss and love you Grandma.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
