I grew up with the Clarks in my high school years. They were a very wonderful family. Danny was one of my closest friends. Pat was special…always kind, loving and just plain fun to be around. Miss the days gone by with all of these good friends May God grant Pat His divine mercy forever.
Have known the Clark family for many years. Sad to hear of Pat’s passings. Pat always had a smile on her face and a positive outlook on life. Prayers for her and her family. Steve Wrigley
I met Pat in 1976 while working at Cash Valve and later hired her to work at Barton Mfg. She was always exceptional at her work with a great personality. Whatever she worked on was always done right which has become so rare today. I am better off having known her and express my sincere condolences to her family.
Lost track of Pat in 9th grade when the family moved from Waterloo. Only in past couple months did I get a chance to talk with her again after 60 years.
I knew she wanted to come to the St Mary's reunion this fall, but she also knew it probably would not happen. I enjoyed my few phone calls with her after all these years and only wish I would have known how to contact her earlier. I know the pain is gone for her and lingers with the rest of us. I'm gonna miss the "tallest" girl in my 8 grade class. Thanks for sharing her with the rest of us.
I worked with Pat at AWCash Valve back in; the 60's and 70's. We were great friends back then and I have such fun memories meeting her family and hanging out. So sad her family with be enduring without her. Linda (Schroat) Loman
