I have so many warm memories of spending summers in Indiana, which of course included time with Aunt Patty and Uncle Jack. We especially enjoyed being able to share their love and laughter with our sons, after their move to Heritage Lake.
Aunt Patty had a wonderful sense of humor and combined with Uncle Jack's quick dry wit, they were quite the pair.
After Uncle Jack's passing, we always included seeing Aunt Patty in our trips to the midwest, especially remembering her in the years of her failing health. Unfortunately, after my father's passing 2 years ago, we lost contact.
I was so saddened to see that she had passed, but know she is finally happy again with her beloved Jack. Her positive nature and ability to smile and laugh at nearly any situation will stay with me forever.
Cousin Jack Robin, she always said you were "just a peach" and she loved you dearly. I know how difficult a loss can be, may you find peace by keeping your memories close to your heart.
Thanks for a lifetime of great memories, Aunt Patty...you will be missed!
With Love,
Priscilla Carey Bilas and family

Patty was a true servant. She was involved with the missions ministry at church and worked there with joy.
She has truly been missed. Now she is seeing her reward.
Jack, I am sorry you have suffered this loss.
