Don & Jeff; Such a shock to hear about Pat passing away. Pat was such a awesome lady!!! Growing up living next door to you all was nice. Pat was always looking for me in the lunch line at Denkmann & Washington Jr High School. Always made sure I had a ride to school if it was raining out. Best part I will always remember is helping Pat plant her marigolds in the flower bed on the side of the house! We always had a good time!! Now she is no longer suffering, she is in a good place where the lord can wrap her in his arms an comfort her & take away all her pain. I pray for comfort & strength for Don & Jeff. My deepest sympathy to you, Your old next door neighbor... Toni. Livers-(DePaepe) Hunnewell, Missouri

I will never forget Pat's love for life and her infectious laugh and smile. She was so kind to invite me to be guest speaker at her work's Christmas party one year. I remember the event fondly. I enjoyed our many talks when I visited her school each week while I was teaching Junior Achievement at Washington Jr. High when she was employed there. She was a wonderful lady who found something good in everyone. She will be missed. My heartfelt thoughts and prayers go out to Don, Jeff and family. Sincerely, Sandee Luster

Don and Jeff, It's hard to believe that she's gone, but I know she's happy and well now, and she's with Mom. She was my special buddy at work, even when we got into mischief!! Please take care of each other, and give Stephie a hug for me. Love and God Bless, Bruce and Sandy Bain

Dear Don and Jeff; My sincere condolences to both of you and your family with the loss of Pat. Don, I'm not sure if you remember me, but my parents were Dick and Betty Liedtke. I remember you and Pat coming to our house and we went to yours when I was very little. I remember the good times all of you had and all the laughing and playing cards. Pat was truly a lovely lady with the beautiful smile she had. I had the pleasure of seeing Pat last year at Trinity and we looked at each other and knew right away who we were. It was like time had never passed us by. I remember her beautiful smile and how she loved to laugh and always had good things to say about others. I know you will miss her Don. I hope you are doing well and as each day goes by somehow we do get through the rough days of missing someone we love so deeply. My thoughts are with you both and I want to thank you for all the special memories I have had all these years of you and Pat being friends with my parents. I know they thought very highly of you and Pat. Sincerely, Terry Liedtke Bandekow
