My memory of Pat is and always will be as one of the nicest women I have had the luck to meet. First time as newcomers to Glen Rock. It was great meeting everyone and I met Pat during that time (1970's) and had time again with she and her husband, Pete. I then went back to work in the 1980's and did not see her often enough so we went our separate ways, while still living in town.
We met each other again when she invited my son, Fr. John Ginty and me to
a luncheon at her club. Pow, there we were talking to each other and having a great time together. We had lots of visits after that, and it was a renewal of a
friendship. I was lucky to know her.

I remember Pat as a generous, kind and inclusive woman. I was honored to get to know Pat one year prior to her passing, although I did know her when we were young moms in the 1970's. But as it happens and happened, we were drawn apart by the roads we were on in our personal lives. I told her that I was sorry that we didn't have all of the past time together, but we were very happy to get to know each again, for that year.
She was courageous and honest. I admired and liked her a lot. Peace be with you Pat. Love, Margaret G

It was my honor to know Pat Mulvihill. I knew Pat as a neighbor in Glen Rock when we were young women and taking care of our families and busy meeting new people. As often happens, years went on and we had not seen each other. But, I was fortunate enough to reconnect with Pat several months ago. We genuinely enjoyed each others' company, had many laughs and good conversations and reunited in warm friendship. Peace be with you Pat.
