Pat was like the “mom” at Wickes Lumber. She had NO PROBLEM telling us what we did wrong and was just as quick to congratulate you when you did something well. She never forgot a birthday or other special occasions and seemed to know what your favorite cake, cookie or sweet treat was. She also made sure we were on time for arrival and God forbid she found you doing nothing… there were always display areas that needed cleaning, straightening or filling in. While I lost touch with her and most of my fellow employees after I moved on to “greener pastures”, her personality is one i will never forget. I am sure when she enters her “Eternal Rest”, she will NOT be resting. I know we will meet again and she will likely be bossing someone around. God bless you Pat, please take the time to “smell the roses.”
