Our prayers are with your entire family. Patty will be terribly missed. She was such a good friend to my and my family. She was an awesome woman, I loved getting to know her at our bible study group, and also seeing her at the pool when we still lived in Las Gaviotas. Her smile will be forever in my heart. I am so saddend by her passing and I hope you feel the love around you at this time.

I am so sorry to hear about Patty. Like Charla, I also have fond memories of growing up with you all on Conestoga. Pool parties, playing in the street, just being kids. I wish I would have been able to stay in contact through the years but I hope that we can reconnect soon. I pray that God will comfort you all with peace beyond understanding.

Patty and I were fellow "Navy Brats" on Upshur Road back in the early 1980s and both went to Annapolis Senior High School (but both moved for our senior year). I don't think I ever saw Patty without a smile on her face. She was a lovely girl...

My love to you all.
