Condolences to the Family

Ray,
I am so sorry to learn of Pat’s exit from this world. She was an inspiration to me and a valuable friend when my mother resided at Twin Oaks. She actually counseled me during a difficult time that I encountered in my career and life. I visited her during her convalescence and she mentored me as I returned to school to pursue my degree in nursing. I attempted to contact her today although much time has passed since we conversed when I discovered this as I did a search. I know how you two completed each other and I can only imagine the heavy loss and grief you feel at this time. You are in my thoughts and prayers. If there is anything you need, please feel free to call. Deb Vollmar 717-964-1871

There are no words to express the sadness I felt when hearing that Pat had passed away. She was a relentless advocate for those she cared for and for those who could not advocate for themselves. Witty. funny and embracing each day of her life. She and Ray completed each other. Ray, sending you wishes for strength and comfort in the days ahead. Love, Kathy Delcambre

Words cannot express the words of loss. She was everyone’s favorite nurse and a wonderful person to know. Pat will be missed by all who knew her.
