Not sure what to say?





My mom, Kay, was best friends with "Aunt" Patty. I remember visiting your house. She introduced me to French onion dip with chips. It was always such a thrill when I was little and my mom would let me say hi to he on the phone. Warm memories of a very sweet woman. My condolences to the family.

Rich and family, I am so sorry for your loss. Pat was a fun loving, wonderful, happy, vivacious lady. I never knew her not to have a smile on her face just like her sister, Diane. I have had many wonderful memories of her most of my life and she will be missed. Pat has earned her reward. Death is only painful to the ones who are left behind. Our deepest sympathy, Sylvia and John
