Sending my sincere sympathy, Tom and family. Pat and I shared a small apartment and fun times during our last year at UNL. May your cherished memories and God’s promises bring you comfort and peace. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Pat was one of the first people I met when I joined Beta Sigma Phi, she was so friendly and very helpful at the city wide rush. I always enjoyed visiting with Pat at BSP events. My sympathies to the family.
