Dearest Aunt Patty,
We were hoping to be able to see you one last time before GOD took you to be with Grandma Josie (your mom)and Uncle Ricky. You always had a smile and jokes to share. You truely are the Bionic Woman with all the things you had to go through just to grace us another day with your presence and keep us laughing. Through it all you stood strong and kept up a good fight. I cannot believe that you are gone...it seems so sureal. I keep waiting for you to call and tell me that you pulled the biggest joke off yet. Please watch over all of us, especially all of our children who were only lucky enough to know you for such a short time. We love you and will miss you more than you will ever know. I know you and Uncle Ricky are having a good laugh together. You no longer have to suffer!! And for that we are greatful, but you are always on our minds. We love you. - Tina, Bill, Isabella and Will Brantly

Dear Aunt Patty, I was coloring you some pictures that I was going to give you next week when we came to visit. Uncle Tony called and gave us the news. I was very upset and I cried a lot. I think about you everyday. Will misses you too. My mom said that you are looking down on us from heaven and GOD needed you more than we did. I will never forget you. She also said you are with your mommy now. I know that she is happy to see you. Mommy said that Will will never have a poopin' problem again because his poopin' pal will make sure that it won't happen. Thank you for the yummy carrot cake you got me after we went horseback riding. I had lots of fun with you and can't wait to use my giant bubble blower again that you got me. Mommy said that one day I will see you again in heaven. I love you. Isabella and Baby Will
