Palmyra is not going to be the same without Aunt Pat. We loved to visit in the summer and talk her. the "Baldauf Astoria" was great place to stay back in the day. going to miss my Aunt she was a light to the world and cherish by all. She also just knew how to brighten ones day.
We love you and going to miss you here but we know that this is only a brief separation. We'll see you again one day. Your nephew Mark & family

Pat was a great lady and sister in the gospel. I remember her and Paul when I joined the church in 1974. They were both great people and great parents and teachers to their children. Sharon also has a place in her heart for Pat as a true friend and sister in the gospel. She and Paul are now together looking down at their family and church family. Rest in peace Pat. We love you.

I'm so sorry to hear of your mom's passing! She's a beautiful woman, inside and out. She was always so nice to me. I hope you're feeling the love of the Savior at this time.

We are saddened to hear of Pat’s passing as we know how much she will be missed by all of you. Our association with Pat began many years ago as she served in the temple office on the shift we coordinated. Never have we met someone so cheerful despite her physical limitations. I can still see her pushing her walker up that long sidewalk to the temple each time she worked. She not only had a regular shift but often subbed for other office workers in their absence. Often she would stop along the sidewalk on one of the benches to rest before making it to the temple doors. What a trooper she was. Then we had the blessed opportunity to serve for 3 years in the Temple presidency where we had contact more often. Though we never knew your dad personally, we felt we did through her. How wonderful to know that the covenants they made will have them re-united now. Please know how much we love her and hope that you will all be comforted through this loss.

It was so sad to hear of your dear mother's passing and yet one cannot help but smile thinking if your parents embracing once again. Your mom and I shared many happy hours sewing together and I remember her mother joining us, too. Her testimony helped mine to grow and I will always treasure working in our callings together as members of our original ward family in Palmyra. I truly loved her. Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Our dear Pat has graduated at the head of her class. It is never easy to lose a mother, and I am so sad for all of you because I know how devoted you were to your mother because she would tell us. But I am delighted for your Mother. She is now a Cadillac of the finest quality able to walk and run and totally enjoy your beloved and colorfully fun , Dad. I send my love to each of you and am praying for all of you. I have so many fond memories of your Mom and Dad. It is hard to separate them.

I remember when Sister Williams was dating Brother Baldauf when she came to visit her brother and sister-in-law who were living in the ward. Bishop & Sister Baldauf will always hold a special place in my memories. Condolences to the family, but they are together looking down at their family.

For many years we stayed at the "Baldauf Astoria" twice a month while we worked in the Palmyra Temple . We loved her cheerful smile and positive attitude. We know her children and grandchildren will miss her terribly and we send our love and thoughts.

I can't ever remember a time when Pat wasn't part of our lives. My earliest memories are when she used to pick me up for Primary when it was held during the week. If there was a dinner at church or decorating needed Pat and Paul were always there working their hardest. So many, many dear friends met her on her arrival back home and I love that we have the gospel to help us understand what happens when we get there. Wonderful lady.
