Dear Frank and the McGettrick Family, I am shocked and saddened to learn of Patti's passing. Although I only knew her for a short time, she proved to be a kind and caring person and one of the hardest workers I've ever met. I will always remember when she surprised me one morning with a bag of tomatoes and herbs from her garden because she learned I liked to cook. That simple gift really touched me and I'll never forget her. Again, I am deeply sorry for your loss. With great sympathy, Ruth Weinstein and the Weinstein Family

Dear Jimmy and Family, I only have fond wonderful memories of Patti. The Friday & Saturday nights at the Milton skating rink were the best. The nights at the Beachcommer listening to the bands under the watchful eye of Jimmy and Patti still ring in my ears. Jimmy, thanks for giving me a place to go and keeping all her friends out of trouble. The smiles she brought to all her friends, (she had the biggest brightest smile enhanced by her cheekbones) will live in my memory for decades to come.
My heart goes out to all the McGettrick's. I will keep her memory close to my heart always.
God Bless.
