I didn’t know Pat very well, but she was always a loving and gracious hostess when motorcyclists from all over North America would gather at the Mandry home for an annual BBQ feast. She will be missed.
I had the honor of working with Pat when I was a new teacher. She was an amazing and fun woman to be around.
I have always admired your kindness, beauty, and style. You always caused me to light up in your presence, and that is a pure testament to the amazing woman were and will always be. Thank you for being such a grand example of excellence. Rest assured, you will be remembered that way. 🙏🏾
Kindra, your singing was a beloved memory of our wedding, one that we often talked about. Your kindness and caring is a shining example of love and caring.
I only met Pat a few times but they were memorable. She welcome dozens of bikers into her home with open arms and we all became family. You will be missed dearly Pat. God speed!
My Love,
Too soon has God called you home and away from my side. While I cry at my great loss, I’m also thankful that He saw fit to recall His Angel to be by His side, where you can rejoice in your unencumbered body and again enjoy the company of both your parents and mine, as well as your sister.
Gone are the infirmaries visited upon your body by sickness, and instead a vibrant, joyful soul eager to enjoy her just reward for her many years of devotion to her Creator. While my mortal soul is in tatters, I lift my eyes unto Heaven, confident that you’re again looking over me and protecting me from that which would do me harm. I no longer have to see your suffering, but instead see you in my mind, healthy and happy to have gone to your reward. I know you’ll be preparing my place at your side when my time comes, and while I’m grateful to be here to help guide and protect those God placed under us, I’m eager to rejoin you when it’s time.
Until that time, my sweet….rejoice in your newly rediscovered health and vitality – I’ll see you in God’s time.
Forever Yours,
George
Pat or as she was known to many, School marm, was a special women of kindness who will be greatly missed. Prays for her family as they deal with the loss.
Losing a spouse is like losing part of you, and it never heals completely; the memories are what we have to treasure and hold on to for the rest of our lives because in our heart and soul, our deep love for each other is always there with us. Every holiday, birthday, anniversary and special moments will bring back a flood of memories. All your photos will help you to go back to that moment in time to relive those treasured moments. My heart goes out to you during this difficult time in your life. My prayers are with you and all your family as I know how hard it is for them too, not only losing Patty but to see what you are going through. May God comfort you and strengthen you during the days ahead, and bring you the peace you need to heal and live your life and make her proud. Rest in peace Patty in God’s loving arms. I only knew you for one day, but I feel I have known you longer in all the posting we shared on facebook. Your special love for George and family radiated in your beautiful smile. Love and prayers for a life well lived to one special lady. God bless you! All my love, Rosi (Mike Grimes).
