I was lucky to have met Patricia through my mother, Gerda Shaw and their love for the Maltese dogs. Patricia was so fun loving with grace and class and an undeniable sense of style. We had so much fun when she visited us in the USA. Let’s just say that shop till you drop was her motto. lol. Patricia, you will be sadly missed. Love, Margaret
Sad to hear of Patricia’s passing a few days ago. I met Patricia’s on many of my judging assignment and saw her as a true dog lover, breeder and exhibitor. It has been my pleasure to judge her dogs and to meet her after many of my judging gigs were over and found a person of great knowledge in breeding dogs and I am honoured to have known her.
I have many wonderful thoughts of time with pat.laughing and watching dogs at the American Maltese show.I got my dog CH.phireband brandy from her.she was a lovely lady.I send my love and prayers to her son .
