Patti, was my neighbor on Lawrence St., she was a good neighbor and a loving Mom. She also was so supportive of her father, always caring for him. She loved her girls and was a good Mom, ensurig their education and their futures. I just saw Patti in January and was so shocked to see that she died at such a young age. My prayers are out to her family for their tremendous loss. RIP Patti.

You were the single most important person in shaping who I have become. You were kind, sweet, funny and beautiful and we are all struggling with not seeing your pretty face in front of us. I am just happy to know that you will never again suffer any pain. We love you more than we could ever express in words. Rest in peace, beautiful angel.

Love you Mom.

Losing Patty is truly heartbreaking. She was a kind and funny woman. Never short on hugs or hospitality. She was like a 2nd mom to me. To th Laymon family, I am very sorry for your loss. I guess God was short on angels. She raised 3 beautiful and smart young ladies-tha is quite the accmplishment. May her memory live on forever in our minds and hearts. Rest in peace Patty-we love and miss you dearly.

I was truly saddened to learn of Patty's passing. Though I never got to meet her in person (as we corresponded via phone and email for work), I will definitely miss her. It's so unfair that the good ones always leave us too soon. My thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends during this difficult time.
