Greetings family of Pat,
Please accept my condolences on the passing of Pat. My mom, Barbara, came to Edgewood in August 2019 and passed the end of December 2019. She sat with Pat, Arnie, and Florence for meals. I often joined them when I visited. Pat was always so positive, funny and welcoming. I loved her spirit and smile. God bless you all.
Beth (Barb’s daughter)
