My prayers and thoughts are with the family. I will miss her smiling face and
friendliness. When coming to the Sea Pines resort for the Sr tournament she
always made time to come by and say hello, how are you, etc. She will be
missed dearly at all the events.

To Pat's children and grandchildren plus her extended family, I want to extend my deepest sympathy to you. Pat was a wonderful "lady" and the friend of many. I did not know her very long but felt I was able to call her my friend. I enjoyed working STA tournaments with her and was even fortunate enough in Dec of 2011 to play with her as my partner at Hilton Head Super Seniors. She was so gracious to give of her time and talents to others.
We grieve here on earth for our own loss of Pat, but we know that she now is free of pain and happy. She will be watching down on us to make sure we do it right. "Now this is the rule".
Always true to the cause, we will miss you, Pat.
Love, BJ

What a beautiful tribute to a wonderful, mother, grandmother, friend and child of the King. I was sitting on my front steps Friday after learning of Pat's passing. My little grandson sat beside me and asked "Mimi, what is wrong, you look so sad?" I told him that a good friend had gone home to live with Jesus, to which he replied: "You will always hold her in your heart Mimi." Out of the mouths of babes! She was a special friend who is missed greatly by all who had the joy of knowing her. You all are in our thoughts and prayers in the days ahead.

Pat was such a blessing to all who knew her and will be missed by all. As she said in one of her last emails to her friends, "You know the Lord has always had me in the palm of His hand. I know I belong to Him and I know where I am going." I am so thankful for her strong faith and witness. My heart goes out to her family and friends during this difficult loss.

Pat was an excellent tennis official, always fair and firm with the players. She was friendly to me and always made me feel welcome at check-in desk for a tournament. I will miss her and tournaments will not be the same. My condolences to Pat's family, friends, and church community.
