She was so loved and will be so missed.
I won’t forget spending fun summers with our cousins. She always was so sweet and I loved her laugh. We are praying for each of you. Love T.T. And Barry ❤️🙏

Dear Kramer family,
You do not know me, but I had the honor of meeting and being mentored by “Pat” Kramer – as I knew her – during my first student job at the Naval Research Laboratory circa 2004-2005. She was one of the kindest, smartest, and most impactful people I have met and it is obvious from me looking her up 17 years later as I wondered about her. I am very sorry to learn of her passing and, although I am very late in sending my condolences, I hope this note will reach you. When I met Pat, I was in my early 20s and still wet behind the ears. What I remember most about her is our discussions about how she used to be a certified driving instructor and how she would share her wisdom with me, things of which I still use to this day. When I learned how amazing her crafting skills were, I remember I asked her for a Thanksgiving cornucopia because I had always wanted one for my family’s table. I am very happy to tell you that I still have that cornucopia at home and I have displayed it every year at Thanksgiving since Pat made it for me. That is how meaningful of a person she was to me. May you find solace in knowing that she made this world a better place for people like me of which I am certain I am not alone. And may she rest in peace and glory.
Sincerely,
-Fabian
