My thoughts and prayers go out to the Patterson family for the loss of this lovely lady.

It was my pleasure and privilege to provide care for "Izzy" at the Pavilion. I will always remember her smile that could light up a room, and the joy she radiated as she participated in our duets. "You Are My Sunshine" would always bring a twinkle to her eyes and a grin to her lips.

Izzy touched our hearts and will be sadly missed by all of us who had the privilege to know and love her.

Dear Jimmy, Maryellen, Terry and Carole,

I am so sorry to learn of your Mom's passing. The memories from my youth are filled with times spent two doors down at the Patterson's. Your Mom was quite a cook and I enjoyed many a meal that she prepared. From the time she came home from teaching, the house was filled with the aroma of dinner cooking. I pray that God will give you comfort during this time of sorrow. I will keep you all in prayer.

In sympathy and love, Moira (Sullivan) Hammel

In my, almost, 6 years of being the Administrator here at the Pavilion, "Izzy", as we fondly referred to her, was an integral part of our Pavilion Family. "Love You, Love You, Love You" were the words most frequently spoken by Izzy to others, and the words that we most frequently said to her. With those words, she could light up an entire room. She never failed to put a smile on my face, and warmth in my heart, each and every time I was with her. She will truly be missed here, by all of us. My thoughts and prayers are with her family now, as they grieve the loss of their mother, grandmother, and friend. All my love, Betsy
