I remember all the happy times we had when we were kids. At Christmas, 4th of July or at the house in Wildwood. I don't recollect the last time we spoke, probably her high school graduation, but I do remember that she was a smart and giving person.

Pat and I taught together at Seven Oaks Elementary. I will always remember the great times we had, especially when she would accompany my instrumental students on the piano. Pat was a wonderful teacher and a dear friend. My sincere sympathy to Marty, Graham, and family.

Pat and I taught together at Hillendale Ele. Pat taught music to my class. She truly cared about the students I brought to her and sought to find something special in each my children. The world is a better place because of her. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

My sincere sympathy to the Burch/Zerbe families. Patti was a childhood friend growing up in Berks County. There will always be fond memories of our families getting together.

Martin, So sorry to read this in the paper.  I remember all of the fun we had at the concerts at Goucher.  Hearing your wedding plans on the drive to Morrell Park Elementary.  Many years have passed since then.  Take care and find peace during this difficult time.

Dear Family, I also remember your sister. My heart goes out to you, and know that SHE IS IN HIS LOVING ARMS
