To the Willis family,
I’m so sorry for your loss. I only met your mom a few times mostly through your sister Kate. I know Kate and her mother are now reunited. Your mother was a wonderful person and raised an awesome family! She will be missed by all.
Dearest Teddy, Tom and Family–my warmest condolences.
The moment I met Pat Willis she smiled at me and was so kind. I felt like I was the most special person in the room at that moment. Pat engaged me in conversation and I started to really feel present in that moment. The sun was shining in from the window and the day was such a beautiful gift.
I appreciate her caring, thoughtful and loving heart. I am so grateful I was touched by her light. I always have felt her joy.
I will always be grateful for the memories, love and belongingness I felt around the Willis home. My life has been blessed to have such a wonderful family be part of my life. Thank you all.
I am sending all my love and safe huggs to y’all. Rest easy Mr. and Mrs. Willis and Katie. Much love.
My condolences to Pat’s family. We had a relatively new friendship, but I already knew she was a special woman. I was very sad to hear of her illness and then her passing.
We had so many good times golfing in many places. Great lunches with our friends and just fun remembrances. Louise Miller

Tom and Ted and family…so sorry to hear of Pat’s passing. She was such a part of my “growing up” years and made it very easy to feel like part of the family.
No doubt George and my dear friend Katie were there to greet her
Thinking of you all
So very sad to learn of Pat’s passing. A beautiful person, inside and out. She, Rosie Smock, and I had many grand times together. Many wonderful memories were made. Pat could put a smile on your face just by looking at you. A very special Lady! Rest in peace, my friend.
She was on my golf league and a very good golfer. She was a lot of fun and
never complained of her problems. A great gal .

Pat was a wonderful friend to my mo. Pat Batz! Never knew what the two of them would be up to! She was truly caring of my mom and alerted me one time when she was concerned about her. Pat may you be in peace! Prayers for your family.
Many good times together. Traveling going to concerts & school plays. Will miss my friend Pat. Love & prayers to her family & friends. Patty Batz
