I can't get over how many people Pat touched...in addition to her many friends, everywhere I go I run into people who met her briefly or knew her online or were acquainted with her in some other, often tangential way, and yet were deeply saddened to hear of her passing.
Her family didn't have a funeral but rather a celebration of her life, which Pat would have liked (except for being ticked that there was this great party and she didn't get to be there). It was good to be there, but I still felt the need for public, communal grieving. Been doing that with friends, and also a little online. (http://www.maines.org/2005/06/this-is-not-in-memoriam.html)
Pat was the greatest. I hope she realized how much she was appreciated and loved.
