I was so very lucky to have Mrs. Issac as my Art Teacher! Pat was a wonderful person and an inspiration to her students. Pat helped me to succeed as a student and helped me to learn a life lesson to never give up and to always believe in yourself!

I will always remember this kind person as Mrs. Isaac. I knew her for just a few years while in high school, as a friend of one of her daughters. She had a sharp wit, a keen sense of humor, and made the best potato salad on the planet. I will never forget the kindness and understanding that she and Don showed to me, a scruffy teenager who thought he knew it all and needed a bit of direction. I can still see her now, working in her garden, painting those paintings, the ones with the human figures with blank faces, driving that bright orange beetle. She treated me as I am sure she treated all who were fortunate enough to cross paths with her, with empathy and goodness, a sincere smile and a knowing eye. My sincere condolences to all in the Isaac family.

So sorry for your family's loss. Death is never easy, may your loving memories and the strength God gives in our time of sorrow comfort your family. Psalms 94:14

I so enjoyed talking with your mom during my ancestry search and was glad she could connect me to Debbie. I saw and appreciated her art work on line, but I am sure her best tribute is all these posts of students who remember her so fondly.

my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I'm so sorry for your loss. Pat was a wonderful woman, very caring, very sweet

Pat got me started on my journey as an artist. If it weren't for Pat I might never have tried painting with oil pastels. One of my favorite paintings, and one of my earliest efforts, is of a patch of pumpkins, done with oil pastels. May she paint her florals forever. X <= :D

Cheryl, So sorry to hear if your loss. Thoughts and prayers are with you.

I shall miss her kind "cheerleading" whenever she saw a painting of mine on the internet. I shall also miss seeing her work of which I was a big fan.

Our sincere condolences to the Issac family. Pat was an inspiration to so many students. She took them under her wing with love and compassion. How proud you must be of her. Heaven gained an angel with extrodinary artistic ability. RIP Pat, you did your job well while on this earth.

Sincerest sympathies to the entire family. Her artwork graces several walls in Debbie and Andy's home and how she captured so things beautifully from geraniums, birds, people. May her life well lived and memories in your heart lift your spirits in the coming days.

My deepest sympathies to your family. Mrs. Issac was a gentle soul, who inspired all at RHS and beyond. The art world will be missing a dear teacher.

With a heavy heart, a member of RHS class of 1999.

My heartfelt condolences to the family. Pat was a wonderful person and a talented artist. She gave so much to the art industry, through her paintings and teachings and most notably to oil pastels as a medium. She was a founding member of the Oil Pastel Society and on Wetcanvas the Oil Pastel Forum (an online international artist community), where through her guidance, teachings and dedication for many years helped countless individuals to develop as artists around the world. A post has been started on the Wetcanvas forum in memory of Pat http://www.wetcanvas.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1409513. She was an inspirational force helping me to grow as an artist, I will always be grateful for her guidance and friendship. Pat will be missed by many.

We are so sorry for your loss. We will miss Pat terribly and her wonderful contributions annually to the Pembroke Arts Festival. With much love to all the girls and Uncle Don, The Dunbar and Kelbaugh families

Dear Don, My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at your loss. May you be consoled by the fact that Pat had a positive impact by her life on earth as witnessed by the comments in this Guestbook. May The Lord Bless her and Keep her, may The Lord let His face shine on her and be gracious to her and may The Lord uncover His face to her and bring her peace. Your friend,

She touched so many lives. She was a lovely and talented lady.

I remember Mrs. Isaac from my years at Esten School. She would come into class with her shopping cart full of art supplies! She was a lovely, lovely person. My sincerest condolences to her family.

Losing a loved one can bring much grief. Please accept my sincere condolences. I love the words spoken in the scripture at 1Thessalonians 4:14 written by Paul when he was in Corinth "For if we have faith that Jesus died and rose again, so too God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in death through Jesus". What a wonderful promise. To know that you can see your loved one again!

The world, our Rockland community, our church, the art community, the music community, and all Pat's family and friends have lost a truly wonderful person. She is greatly missed by so many. Our deepest sympathy to all Pat's family, especially Don, Cheryl, Diana, Debbie, and their families. With love and prayers, Judy and Tom.

Heartfelt sympathy on your profound loss. I fondly remember evenings filled with music and laughter and know her guitar and harmony will be missed by many. Thank goodness she has left us all her wonderful art. God Speed Pat

Student 1984 to 1987 Loved her classes! Still have my art work i did in her classes! Rest in peace Mrs Isacc!

I have the BEST memories of Mrs. Isaac! I had all through elementary school at Eston, from 1970-1976. She was such a great teacher! I don't remember her having issues with any kids. She was so much fun, so positive and so enthusiastic! I am so sorry to hear of her passing but knowing she is in a place of love and peace should give us all comfort! To her family, please know there are so many of her students that are all grown up, and still live and admire her! Take comfort in the love we are all sending to you now! God bless you all, as I know he has already blessed Mrs. Isaac!!!

I didn't meet Pat until 2002 but she was a wonderful relative. My condolences to Don and daughters Cheryl, Diana, Debbie, and their families.

My sincerest of condolences to all the people, whose hearts, and souls, Mrs.Isaac touched. She was one of the best teachers, and people, I have ever known. God bless her on this journey.

Pat was a good friend, a inspiring teacher and a generous individual. My sincerest condolences.

Debbie, my thoughts are with you and your family as you mourn your mother's passing and celebrate her beautiful life, well-lived. Praying for your peace and comfort.

My all time favorite teacher, not my best class but she always made everyone feel good.

Mrs lsac was the most loving teacher I have ever known, she took the extra time to help anyone, and always made you feel like you accomplished something. May the angles lift you high, rest in peace Mrs Isac

Pat was such an inspiration to so many individuals. She will be missed by everyone she has met. We have lost some special, but god has gained a beautiful angel.

Dear Pat,
You will be sorely missed by all who were fortunate to know you
and call you friend. I am one of those.
Rest in peace Dear friend.
Love, Ruthe Sholler
