She was my middle school principal, sad to hear the news but rest in peace mrs. Cross

Worked under Pat (as my VP @ Lincoln), and again as my Principal (@ Goodwin).

I don't know of a more fair & consistent "boss", during my entire career as a teacher.

I know she will be missed by many...and I can only take solus knowing she's resting peacefully, in a better place.

Thank you for being a friend.

I worked with Pat at Goodwin School. I fondly remember her and I having a rolling chair race down the hall and laughing as we ran into walls. She was a great principal and loved by her entire Goodwin family. She will be missed!! Rest in peace Pat!!!

I worked at Goodwin in Cicero with Pat. She even drove me to the hospital when I was in labor with my 2nd daughter. Pat was a truly special person and a wonderful principal. She will be missed! RIP

R.I.P. Mrs. Cross We will miss you. One of the greatest principles ever!!!

Rip mrs cross we will miss you. A great principal very loving to her students. Thank you for all your help at Jefferson for making kids like my cuz and I better people.

Pat was truely the best principal that I have ever had. She cared for everyone, and made us all feel like we mattered. We still compare all of our principals to her. You are greatly missed.

My prayers and condolences to the Cross Family. I worked with Pat at Goodwin school and remember her fairness and sense of humor. She will be missed.

So sorry to hear about your loss. Pat was a great colleague, and I enjoyed working with her here in District 99.
