I am saddened to hear of the death of Patrice. I did not know her. I used to see her when she was a little girl back when I coached her brother Todd 27 years ago in Rose Park.

I miss you so much. I really miss the 50 text messages a day back and forth. I still wait for one to come across from you saying how much you love me. I took for granted how many times a day you told me. I loved every minute of the last 7 years. the good and the bad. you made me a better person. Thanks for everything you taught me. I am so glad we never gave up on each other. You were more than worth it. See you in my dreams my love. Your Proud and Loving husband. Ryan

Dear Vicki and Perry and family,
I just heard about Patrice and am so sorry for you lost no words can explain how you and I both feel. Patrice and I would cause trouble in the neighborhood. when we were in jr. and high school. she would give me rides to school. I am so sorry I wasn't there for the funeral I just found out today. I hope your family will come together and stay close in this time of sorrow.

Vicki, Perry, and family,
I was so saddened to hear about Patrice's passing. She has always been one of my favorite people. I wish I had had the opportunity to connect with her and tell her that before she passed away. When I was young women's president, she was always my greatest support. She was kind and fun loving and generous in spirit. She looked for those who needed a friend. She was also my children's favorite babysitter!
I pray that God gives you strength to get through this difficult time. Remember that your relationship with Patrice is not over, it has just changed. She is still with you. You just have to look harder for her and listen with you heart for when she is trying to communicate with you. She is now in a more peaceful place where she can work and communicate and truly be the guardian angel she was meant to be.
Much love to your family. I'm so glad Patrice was part of my life, even for a short time.
