The loss of someone dear to us is never easy. I am so saddened to hear about my dear friend Pat’s passing..She will be missed by so ma ny. There is a very special tie that binds friends together that if you hadn’t talked in awhile you could pick right back up where you left off.. I will never forget all our great memories over many years at work or outside of work. She was funny, kind, considerate and a great Mom & friend. She always could put a smile on your face. I hope & pray that Gea, Jason and family will have strength during this time of loss. I am here for you guys if you need anything. You all have my deepest & sincere sympathy. Love, Kathy Gunter

My Aunt will be dearly missed by her entire family. Her children Jason (Katie) Vezina, Gea Vezina. Her Grandchildren
Cora, Lucy & Liam. Her brothers & their wives & children. Her many friends & co-workers. But mostly by myself & my sisters. She has always been a huge part of our lives from our births, to the day she passed. She was always just a phone call away or if need be she’d drive over to help. She was like a second mom to me. You could talk to her about anything. She was caring & fun, loved life. She will be dearly missed. Rest in pease Auntie.♥️

I was fortunate enough to meet and become Pat’s friend while working at Altron about 4 yrs ago. We had such a good time together, often laughing until we cried. Her humor added to the wild stories that she would tell me about her past. Whether it was a story about growing up, working on her vehicles, riding her motorcycle, dental visits, or random self peformed medical procedures, after each story I would always tell her that she needed to write a book about her life. I wish she would have, as we could all use a good laugh right about now. I am so happy to have had her as a friend, and I will miss her.
Gea Vezina says
This was so sudden. I have to say, I had the best mother a kid could have. She was there for anything. Yeah of you didn’t listen, you knew you where going to get it. I know she is happy up there with family and and with grandpa and with my dad. This has to be the hardest thing I have ever had to go threw in my in my life. I will miss you every day mom. I love you more then life it self. Watch over me. Love you.
