The first time I met Pat, I loved her. We worked together at Lucent for many years and were friends long after our Lucent days. I will always remember her for being one of the most caring, loving, nurturing people I have ever known. I wish I had not been so far away, as I would have loved to see her again. I do know that she waiting a long time to be back with Dave, so I am glad for that. I will miss her the rest of my life. I love you, Pat!

Pat, her parents and many siblings grew up in Maywood,I´ll on 4 th ave and our family of only 3 kids lived on 5 th ave and we had the same house numbers, just different streets. Vicki grew up with Pat and me (Butch) hung with Mike.
Way back in the 50´s & 60´s when neighborhood kids played and hung with each other ; long before computers, cell phones, texting. Those good old days.

I first met Pat through her sister, Mary Lou ,my Kane County Coroner's Office boss in the late 1980's.Throughout the years, I was always amazed at her resilience.In 1991,she asked me to speak at her work place,Lucent Technologies for Girls Career Day.Of all the people at Mary Lou's Office that she could have asked, I felt so honored. Just saw Pat at her nephew Joey's (Mary Lou's son) Celebration of Life in Fall,2023.I'm sure there have been a lot of hugs in Heaven for the Kearns' and Pat's other loved ones,there. My deepest sympathy to the entire Kearns family, the Dye family and others who became "family" to her. Eternal rest, Pat.You made such a
a positive impact on so many. I know that I shall and choose to never forget you.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always. We loved sitting and just talking with Aunt Pat. She truly cared about us. We remember having a great time on the Disney cruise with her and when she made us a special dinner at her house.

I met Pat through her sister, MaryLou. I had the good fortune of getting to know Pat better during her most recent difficult journey. The outpouring of love that Pat received was amazing... she was the epitome of "you get what you give"!
God bless you and keep you in the palm of His hand. Your work here on earth is done!
Love, Sharon
