John, Kristen and Justin,

I am so very sorry for your loss, Patty was a truly beautiful person. I met Patty Brand in high school and she became a friend for life. I was lucky to be included in her bridal party when she and John married. We remained in touch over the years and I will always cherish our friendship. Patty was a very warm, giving and loving person, with a great personality. I always admired her intelligence and gift of caring for others.

She will be missed.

May she rest in peace

My Dearest Pat…

Thank you for all that you have done for me in the 12 years that I have known you! From hiring me at Family Care, to showing and teaching me things, a shoulder to cry on many of times in your office. I will miss our laughs together, the Christmas parties, the looks we gave each other with complicated patients, to surprising me with your husbands pull pork that he made. Rest on Patricia as I called you being funny, your work is done here!!

Dearest Pat,

We met sitting on the sidelines while cheering our little boys on as they played baseball. In time we became friends. I’m a grateful I’ve had you in my life. You’ve brought a lot of joy and happiness, laughter and mischief lol that I will cherish and look back on and smile. All those nights out whether it be dinners, ornament parties, the jersey shore, New Hope weekends or casual gatherings we always had a fun time and left with a smile on our face. So here’s to you Pat! Fly with the angels! ❤️Xoxo❤️
