Patrice was without question one of my favorite people all the years we worked together at Catholic Memorial. She had an overall wonderful demeanor. I loved her sense of humor, those sparkling eyes and that mischievous smile when telling stories. Above all, her thoughtfulness not only for the many students she helped but also the teachers she supported was consistent and performed with grace. I am particularly grateful to her for recommending me to receive The Teacher of Excellence Award the first year said reward was initiated. What a pleasant surprise that was! My only regret was and still is losing contact with her at her retirement. Patrice will always have a special place in my heart
