    Our Dear Friend Pat, passed this morning at about 9:30 am.

    She is a beloved friend who has touched the hearts of many throughout her life’s journey. We will miss her deeply but are forever grateful for the time we have had with her.

    Pat has been an inspiration to many as she overcame whatever obstacles came her way to just “be love”. On this day in which so many look for ways to celebrate love, Pat leaves us with the meaning of true love. It is also no small surprise that today begins the Chinese New Year of the Tiger. Many of you, may have experienced her Tiger nature as well. Her ability to stand her ground and fight for those people and causes which she held dear.

    Blessings to you all and thank you for your care, love and support.

    This is Pat’s (Viraja’s) brother Jim writing. She has been supported by intense care and help from so many of you! Thank you so much! I know this outpouring could only come because Pat chose wonderful people as her friends and cared deeply about you through her life.

    Love and Peace,
    Jim
