Pat’s family – So sorry to learn of her passing. While I only knew Pat via shared political activities, I knew she was a fine person and learned to appreciate her. May you be blessed and encouraged by many fond memories.
I met Pat many, many years ago at a meeting in Bonne Terre. She talked me into going to a silent AA. Women’s retreat. I am forever grateful to her for inviting me. I have continued to go. This year will be #29!! RIP.
Pat was such a good person. She sure helped me get over some humps in my life. I worked with Pat at the Mineral Area program several years ago. Prayers going to Pat’s family and friends. She will be missed.
Donna,
I’m so sorry to hear the news of your mom. Prayers for you and your family.
It is a miracle that we have the opportunity to be of service to our God and to others. Thought I did not know Pat personally I did know her as a fellow sufferer. Pat will be missed, yet she lives in our hearts and her smile lights up our minds. In Jesus name I pray that her soul rests in peace.

My husband, Arnold, and I offer our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Pat on the occasion of her transition to Life after Life. Arnold and I served with Pat at different times and in different ways but came to love and appreciate her dedication to service, her sense of humor, and her strength of purpose. Pat was committed to service and helping others to find life solutions through 12-Step programs. God bless you, Pat, and continued Grace on your journey.

You were my second family, and Christine and Donna were always like sisters to me.
You always said we don’t have wings we can’t change people I carried that with me but now you have yours.
You will always be loved and hold a special place in my heart.
Thank you for the child hood memories.
Love you,
Judy Boyer
