I was so very sorry to hear that Patty lost her valiant battle with cancer. I have to say that when I last got to visit with her, I was impressed with her strength and dignity, and her very pragmatic demeanor. Patty hired me as a supervisor and I only hope I lived up to her expectations and example. She will forever remain my mentor and cherished friend. May your warm, loving memories bring you solace as you grieve her passing. My most sincere condolences to you all. With love and prayers, Lynn McInturf Root
