    I send deepest condolences to your family. I knew Pat when we both worked in the lab at Deer Lodge Hospital in Winnipeg. Pat ,Rhonda Smith and I often went out after work and to some Socials . We were all young kids in our early twenties and had some fun times. She was a kind and caring person. Alex Zebrun former coworker in Winnipeg.
