Dear Aunt Patsy,

You will forever live in my memory as one of the most remarkable people I have ever encountered. Your wit and creative talents are unmatched. I always remembered as a child getting your cards and letters in the mail and marveling at your customized illustrations and poems. I can only hope to become half of the woman and world traveler that you were. You are the reason I am so proud that my middle name is Dorothy. <3

Hey patsy - on friday i bought a frosty lemonade to have at the bus stop because it was absolutely sweltering out.. ordinarily i think that's unnecessary, i will just wait till i get to the office, but i thought i heard you say "oh why the hell not!" and i thought yes, why the hell not -- you are always an inspiration, thanks =)

Aunt Pat we will miss you. You always made us laugh so much when we were kids. All of us looked forward to the visits from the Bahamas when school was out, or the visits to Green Wings. Gone but never forgotten.
