Chuck, Blaine,and Karman,
When I think of Pat I always remeber the first time I met her at a family reunion. She was the most beatuiful redhead I had ever seen. Then you got to know her as a person and her inner beauty was what you remember most about Pat. If you had the privilege to know her you walked away loving her.
I am so sorry for your loss.
Marian

Pat and her family have been part of our "Bigler Family" for as long as I can remember. She was a delightful, hard working lady. It was always a pleasure to be in her company. Her smile and pleasantness will be sorely missed. Pat earned her angel wings here on earth. God has called another of his angels home.

From the minute I came home from the hospital as an infant, Patty was there for me. She was the big sister I didn't have. I always admired her work ethic and her sweet disposition. I will miss her.
