Patty my beautiful angel, 10 years ago today God took you away to be in heaven. We would be celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary next September. You have a beautiful granddaughter Avia now that you really looked forward to having and I'm sure would be spoiling right now. She looks so much like you! I miss you every day and can't wait to show Avia pictures of you and tell her all about her grandma and how much you would have loved to hold her, play with her, take her places, and teach her all about gardening and arts and crafts. I will make sure she knows all about what a great loving and caring wife, mother, daughter, sister, and aunt you were. Miss you and will never forget you.
Love forever and always, Steve

Not a day, not an hour not a minute goes by that I don't think of you! Maegan just had her 4th baby and through that joy I also have the sadness that these kids will never meet you! Just through some stories and pictures, so unfair! Maegans children- Blake,Dakota,Gavin and Athena,
Josh's daughter Natalie would have loved you and you would love them!
You would be proud of the man Andy has become, and now engaged to be married to his soulmate Samantha!
You are missing so much and you are missed so much!

Mrs Haines,
I consider you to be my family even though I never had a chance to meet you. I feel like I know you from all of the beautiful stories that your son has shared with me, all the pictures that I have seen of you, and I can see you in his face.
Thank you for raising the perfect man. I can't wait to marry Andrew, and hope to be as great of a wife to him, as you were to your husband. We both think about you every day. I have a necklace of yours that I treasure so much, and I will wear it at our wedding so that you will be there with us in spirit.
With my deepest love,
Samantha
Andrew

I still miss you every day of my life mom, even after all these years. I miss your love, guidance, and advice.
I wish you were here to see my house. I know you'd be so proud of me, and would have loved helping me with all of my gardens. You would have been best friends with Samantha, too.
I wish you were still here to meet all of our pets. They would have filled your heart with so much joy, just as you did with everyone that you came across in your life.
I set the all-time sales record for my company this month. I wish you were here for me to brag to - without you, I could never have accomished such an incredible feat. Thank you for everything that you did mom.

Patty,6 years ago today I lost my wife and best friend.Even after 6 years I still can't believe you're gone.Every time I walk in the back yard I think of you.That was one of your favorite places and you spent a lot of time there.I just wish I could keep the gardens and ponds looking as nice as you did.I know I will never have a life as nice as we had when we were together.I just wish we could have enjoyed the rest of our lives together.Still hate coming home to an empty house and not hearing your voice.I know we will be together again.Miss you so much.

Patty my sweetheart, today we should be celebrating our 35th anniversary together. It's been almost 6 years since you left your family and friends. I've been trying to move on with my life but it hasn't been easy. Wish I could have you and our life back. At Letchworth camping at one of you're favorite spots in 800 loop. Went to the balloon festival yesterday which I know you really loved. I know you are watching over me and I miss you so much.
Happy Anniversary my sweetheart.
Love you forever and always, Steve

Patty my sweetheart,your best friend and beloved Sinbad has passed away.He passed away last night.The two of you are now together again and I'm sure he's talking your ear off.He was really heartbroken when you passed away over 5 years ago.He was never the same after you left.He was always waiting for you to walk in the door.He is now reunited with his mother.

Merry Christmas my sweetheart.Can't believe it's been 6 years since our last Christmas together.It still sucks waking up on Christmas morning and you're not here and no presents under the tree.I miss the smell of your hot cinnamon rolls and you opening your presents on Christmas morning.I still set up the tree and decorate the house because I know that it was your favorite time of year and that's what you would want.Troy is with you now and I'm sure you are both watching over Linda and I.Someday we will all be together again and enjoying Christmas together.
Love you forever and always,Steve

Patty, I can't believe 5 years has gone by. You would be real proud of My Cousin your Husband Steve. He is a great person and wonderful guy. I am happy to say he is my cousin. I'm sure heaven has a wonderful garden now that you are there keeping an eye on things. We are all ok and we all know our journey in life is day by day. Please pray for us as we think of you. I only wish Sonia and I had spent more time with you.

Patty my sweetheart,I can't believe it's been 5 years since God took you from me.It seems like yesterday.It's still hard coming home and not seeing your smiling face when I walk in the door. The memories of you will never go away.I was so lucky to have you as a wife for almost 30 years.I just wish we could have spent 30 more years together.There was so much taken from you. All the Holidays you enjoyed, the decorating, the gardening, the camping. And most of all,spending time with your nieces and nephews and watching them grow up.I know you are watching over them and are proud of them. Miss you so much.
Love you forever and always,Steve

Hi, Aunt Patty.
I can't believe it's been 5 years since you've left us. It never gets easier! I have so much I would love to tell you! I live in Montana now - right in the mountains. It's so beautiful here. I decorated my house for Christmas yesterday and thought of you the entire time. It looks so beautiful, I think you'd like it. I even have a couple of Snoopy ornaments on our huge tree. It makes me so much happier to get home and see the beautiful lights and everything.
I think about you all the time, I wish I could tell you all about my life. I miss you so much! You are such a big part of my life, even if you are no longer physically with us. I wonder if you know how much you have influenced me. Your card and your photo are next to my bed, the blanket you gave me is on my bed. I always wear the bracelet you gave me, and my Belle is across the room on a shelf. The physical things don't matter as much but it's still nice to be surrounded by them.
I love you and miss you so much.
Love,
Chelsey

Happy birthday sweetheart.I miss you so much.It still sucks coming home and you're not here.I think you would be proud of me because I still decorate the house during holidays because I know how much you loved to do that.I know you're watching over me because I can sense your presence while I'm decorating or working out in the yard keeping your gardens and ponds going.
Thanks for watching over me
Love you forever and always,Steve

Aunt Patty,
today marks three years since you've been gone. I can't believe it, I feel like when I go home this summer I'll be able to go camping with you again. I just wish that I could hug you once more or just hear your voice. I miss you so much. I'm always going to miss you.

Patty, Thinking of you on your birthday.I think of you every day.
You are so missed. Hard week for me because Ben's birthday February 9 and yours February 11.
Whoever said time heals all wounds-never lost people that were so loved and had their lives cut so short.
It is a pain that will never heal.
Life goes on, but is it hard not to share these things with you.
Remembering you on your birthday with love.

Patty it is 2 years since you've been taken from us,Life goes by and you are not there to share it with us. You are always in my thoughts.As Steve wrote these Holidays are so hard on us because you loved them so much! Cruel that you were taken when your favorites Thanksgiving and Christmas were just a few short weeks away.I wished with all my heart that you would beat the odds and stay here with us forever.Cancer is evil-causes pain and suffering to those who did not deserve this!!!
I carry your heart, I carry your heart in my heart...
You are loved and missed!!!!
