Patti was full of love and special memories were made knowing her when I started dating her Grand-Daughter Sherri. Remember going to Downers Delight after mass and she would always order cherry crepes and a beer with two olives and watch them float up and down. They gave away one of their vacation vouchers so Sherri and I can enjoy our honeymoon in an awesome vacation spot. Always enjoyed her company. What a pleasure to have fond memories. God Bless.

I remember Patti very well. I also worked at District 180. She was such a sweetheart and she helped so many children. She and Bob graciously let our teachers union meet at their Burr Ridge house. Great people! Blessed to have known her.

Kelly, Maureen & family. So sorry to see that your Mom has passed. She will always have a piece of my heart. She was such a sweet lady. So glad I had the time to know her. Hugs & prayers to you all.

Condolences to the entire family. She will be fondly remembered for her kind nature and her love for family and friends. I went to the Pioneer Inn with the family and enjoyed boating with them. I also remember going to Villa Olivia with the family where Kelly taught me to ski. I have many warm childhood memories of time spent with the family.
