Pati first came on the scene at the Salvation Army Children's Village many years ago as a practicum student. It was clear immediately that she had a gift with children. I recall her sitting on the ground instead of chasing a child that wanted to run away, she winked and said, "He will come back in his own time" and sure enough he returned immediately after seeing he was not in trouble and had someone calmly waiting for him. She carried this compassion on throughout her career and carried herself with humor, insight and a true love for her friends, co workers, students and most importantly for her son Mack who she was extremely proud of, husband Rob and the rest of her family. Pati was always welcoming and thoughtful to those she met, she truly is an angel who has left some space for others to take over and carry on her compassion for others.
Miss you already
