Thank you to all the staff at Hospice of Fisher Home for the outstanding care and overflowing compassion. Words cannot describe the incredible loving care and companionship provided to Pat in her final months, days and hours by Ashlee Viens and her mom, Brenda Smith. When Pat left the hospital and was asked where she would like to go, she said to be with Ashlee. Ashlee lovingly fulfilled Pat’s last wish and was by Pat’s side and cared for her throughout her final days at Fisher Home as she had done for many months prior.   All services for Patricia were private. Barry J. Farrell Funeral Home of Holyoke handled arrangements. Memorial contributions may be made in memory of Patricia to Hospice of The Fisher Home, 1165 North Pleasant Street, Amherst, MA 01002.
