Patti Nash
Still reeling from the news of Pat’s death! There are so many wonderful things to say about her. She was a true friend and confident! She did love her job at St. Mark’s HS and was great at it. The students loved her, as well. She was tough but understanding when problems popped up. She had a kind heart, especially when it came to her kitties! She had a love of animals and it showed every time Jerry came home from work and there was another “abandoned” kitty there to say hello to. Pat had a beautiful smile and a very distinctive laugh recognized by everyone who loved her. I will miss her. Pat actually made this world a better place simply by being in it. Rest in Peace, my friend!

Patty’s passing is such a shock. She was so full of kindness, love and compassion. She was a second daughter to my mother (Betty Harlan). My mother is also in shock after just spending Friday evening with Patty going to a show. Patty would take my mom to lunch and to the movies. Patty will be so missed by many. Lots of prayers and love to Jerry and the family.

I am so sorry to hear about my ex-sister in laws passing. Patty was beyond compassionate and loving. She was very loyal to those around her. She was a kind soul with not a mean bone in her body. We shared a lot of fun loving memories together. She will be missed.
