 She was cremated in accordance with her wishes.

A Celebration of Life will be at a later date.

Pat lived with these words in front of her every day:

Think

 If you think you are beaten, you are

 If you think you dare not, you do not.

 If you like to win, but think you can’t, it’s almost certain you won’t.

 If you think you’ll lose, you’ve lost.

For out of this world we find, success begins with a fellows will - it’s all in the state of mind. If you think you are outclassed, you are.

You’ve got to be sure of yourself before you can ever win a prize.

You’ve got to think high to rise.

Life’s battles don’t always go to the stronger or faster man,

 but sooner or later the man who wins is the man who thinks he can.
