My sweet angel Sister, Patti, letting go of your earthly presence is so hard for me. You are now with our Heavenly Father and your earthly Mother and Father forever. You were a gift to us to teach us and I learned so much from you being a part of our family. I will always cherish out last moments together and our final good bye kiss. I love and miss you and will always remember what you taught me. Please save me a place with you and I will join you when my work here is done. All my Love, ?Kathleen
