While I have many memories of Aunt "Patsy" as a child I will always remember my relationship with Aunt Pat as an adult. We had some very meaningful conversations over the years and I will always appreciate her honesty and truthfulness but most of all her support and encouragement to me during some very difficult times in my life. I am so grateful for the wonderful visit Fran and I had with her and Sue back in July.It was a good day!!! She will always have a special place in my heart.

I'll always think of Mama Hessler every time I have a Peppermint Pattie. She was so cute when she met the Elvis impersonator. Your mom will certainly be missed.

Momma Hessler will always hold a place in my heart. I will miss her dearly. My last treasured memory of Momma was her singing Happy Birthday to me as she was walking down the hall. Love you Momma Hessler, yours always!
