Ed: My grandmother always said "If you make just one true friend in your lifetime you were a success". For me Pat was a more than that...as she was for her animals. She is probably talking to Amanda and checking on her animals right now!

Pat : Your family without a doubt miss you, along with your human family. I can only hope the work you started will continue in your name, a job well done and now it`s time to RIP dear lady.

Heartfelt condolences to her loved ones and friends. She is in Joyous Heaven with all her beloved animal family and friends.
Thanks Lodi News-Sentinel, for actually posting a photo of this wonderful lady...I could not find one on any other of several news links--some of well known news organizations--and almost gave up until I found your link. Kudos!

RIP Pat.
