My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of loss. I was so sad to hear about the passing of Patty.
Patty will always have a special place in my heart. We shared alot of great times at Fire Island together which will never be forgotten.

To all the Houlihan's,
My heart broke when my sister Kathi told me of Patti's passing. I only wish I knew earlier so I could have been there to tell you what an amazing, impactful person she was in my life. I will never forget her. I have "googled" her as recently as last month trying to find out what happened to my closest friend in high school. I love her with all my heart and hope you find peace in your memories. I know all the thoughts I have of her is of laughter and I only wish I could have known her these last twenty years. She was one in a million. My condolences.

Patti was one of my closest friends in High School. I moved to Long Island in my Jr. year of High School and she went out of her way to help me get adjusted and meet new friends. Patty's laugh and smile can never be replaced. I have, and always will, cherrish the time we spent together. Please know that my prayers are with you during this time of loss.

Dear Houlihan family,

My heart is very saddened by the passing of Patty. We were the best of friends from age 4 through high school. Two peas in a pod my mom would say. I couldn't imagine growing up without Patty and feel extremely blessed to have shared so much of growing and learning with her through those magnificent years of youth. What a couple of crazy kids we were. Since I practically lived at your house, I always considered you family and Patty was like a sister to me. Thank you for all of the love and kindness you had shown me over the years. I pray God dwells within your hearts and provides great comfort in your time of grief.

Much love to you,

Katharine

Patti was one of my first friends when entering Junior High from St. Mary's. I knew few people and she made me feel more comfortable. We had many laughs together and I will always remember her smiling face and wonderful personality.
