I return from holidays to this very sad news.
I had recently congratulated Patricia on her birthday and knew something was amiss because there was no reply, and Patricia always took the time to reply with a very personal message. Reading through all of the heartfelt comments in this thread, jinlo's remembrance struck a chord with me.

She responded to the request of a stranger with the heart of someone willing to do as much as possible.
May her spirit find joyous adventures. |
I also gave Patricia karma for finding and uploading that specific eBook request and her response was:

Thank you for the karma, WDE. I quite like doing requests because I often end up reading new things.

The library dedication is a great tribute to Patricia's tireless efforts and will allow a lot of others to discover the joy of "reading new things". It is still difficult to talk about Patricia in the past tense. I can still here her voice even though I've never met Patricia in person. I more than "quite liked" having you here Patricia. You were so very kind and will be dearly missed.
My heartfelt condolences to her partner, family and friends.
