You don't know me. My mother (Sandy Dolata) worked at Samis Insurance with Pat for many years. My mom passed away a long time ago. She was a great friend to my mom. I just heard about Pat's passing today. I imagine that her and my mom are together and looking over all of us. I'm very sorry for your loss.

To my Aunt Patty,
From now on I will notice the extra quiet when I visit "Drance Park." But, I take some comfort in knowing you have joined a whole choir of angels above us. I am so glad you got to know my husband and children. I am thankful for the years we had together and wish we all could have had many more with you. I will look and listen for signs of you when I'm in your yard and I know I will find them...the blooming Columbines, the gentle wind chimes. You remain in our hearts, always. I love you so much!

I met Pat in 1988 when I brought my son to her office at Sammis. She was immediately open and warm. Ten years later I began working there and was on her commercial lines team. We eventually became friends. She was truly the most genuine person I’ve ever met. She would always tell you like it was! I know how much she loved you Michael, Derek and Myles. I know life will never be the same for you without her, but Heaven has truly gained an angel.
Love, Arla

My first memory of Pat was around 1994 I believe at an annual Elvis party held by a friend of ours. It was the beginning for me of being a part of an incredible community made up of musicians, their spouses and families that continues to this day. I was new to the group then-feeling a little shy and I remember sitting with Pat. She immediately welcomed me with her kindness and ease. She helped me feel such a sense of belonging.
Over the years and many get togethers, we would talk about our children- Pat and Mike's sons Derek and Myles and my son Zach. We would talk about how proud we were of our sons - how much we loved and enjoyed spending time with them as they grew into beautiful young men. She talked of meeting Mike at school upstate. Her love for Mike and Myles and Derek was and is unwavering.
Chris and I will miss you Pat. Your beauty inside and out- your grace - your dignity- your generosity- your loving heart. Unique and irreplaceable.
Our hearts go with you Mike and Derek and Myles...we are so sorry...
We are so grateful for the gift of your presence in our lives Pat.
We love you and will miss you,
Annie and Chris

Where do I start. Dear Pat. I know that you are looking over us now. Your soul is so bright and beautiful. We have been to many gatherings together. Showers , christening, weddings , birthdays and parties. We have had many great laughs and chats. We have seen our children grow up and become really fantastic adults. Family and Friendship are so important. I know that all your family and all your friends feel a loss of such a great person.
I had the great pleasure of cutting Pat’s hair for many years. That beautiful strawberry blonde wavy hair. As she got older and became grey I was a little jealous because her hair just looked blonder . She had natural beauty. We were all so lucky to be her friend.

Patty, too beautiful for words, I will always love you, your grace, style, kindness and compassion. Being an Oswego girl gave you a special closeness with the Briands. I remember your wedding and the drive to the reception and you calling a halt to to procession on the side of the road so you could run into a yard sale that was selling your dishware pattern. Forever loved and forever missed, God Speed and don't forget to wink at us every so often. Kate Briand.

Where do I start? Thank you Pat for all of the love and friendship. You are the nicest person I’ve ever known & I will miss our conversations about parenting and life. Thank you for calling me just to see how I was doing. Mike, Drake & I love you so very much. The Slime family has gained an angel to watch over us. This photo is from a Lent party.

I was fortunate to have known Mike and Pat for a long time and shared some wonderful memories. I had the honor of playing songs that Mike wrote that expressed his deep love for her. Pat was as sweet as they come, a wonderful mom as evident in her two amazing boys and one of the strongest people I have ever met. It was such a blessing that she joined us on our trip to Peru in 2018. She was loved by all and will be in our hearts forever.

I met Pat when she came to work at MRW Group in Huntington as the Marketing Mgr . Not an easy job . It at once requires great technical ability ,and great poise . Dealing with sales people and underwriters requires a Diplomat as well .
Pat was all those things ,but much more .
She was above all that a great Lady . Lovely to be with . Beautiful all the way through . Firm when she had to be ,but with a gentleness that shown through .
I feel privileged to have known and worked with her over those years .
If only we had the wisdom to say all the things we should while we could .
Farewell on your journey friend . You were one of a kind.
Hope to see you again down the road .
