I am so so sorry for your loss. I knew Patty from the time she married my Uncle Harmon. They were so good for each other and good to each other. Patty was such a wonderful and dear person. I'm sorry that my husband and I couldn't get down there to see her again and to meet all of you. But we know that she was well taken care of by loving family. Please know that your grief is being shared. We will miss her very much. Call me if you like or email. Love, LaJune Schnarr
