Pat's passing
I was fortunate to count Pat as a friend. As a co-worker of hers at West Whiteland Township for years, I got to know Pat well. She was a warm and wonderful person. It saddens me greatly that she is gone, but Pat was a woman of faith. Knowing of that provides me, and hopefully others, with some comfort. I'll miss Pat and send my condolences to her family and loved ones.

You may be gone from this earth but I know you are in heaven with no more pain. DC, Ellie and Mathew, I am so sorry for your suffering but she is in a good place now and smiling down on you.

I was saddened to learn of Pat's passing. As a reporter for the Daily Local News, I cover West Whiteland township. During supervisor meetings, I would see her sitting at the front table with the supervisors and staff. If I had a question about a story I was working on, I would call Pat and she would direct me to the right person. This is something reporters never forget. I will miss her.
