Patty was an example to all of us of how to be happy under any circumstances. She was a beacon of happiness despite all of the difficulties she faced in her life, and her loving, caring demeanor will be a shining example to us all for the rest of our lives. Both she and her beautiful sister, Marta, will live on in our hearts. God bless them both, may they have eternal peace.

With love,

Pat will always hold a special place in my heart. She was a beautiful person and a wonderful friend. I will miss our weekly visits. She had class, dignity and strength. May peace be with all those who loved her.

We thank you, Father, for this woman who was so dear to us.
We thank you for her friendship and her boundless love.
We pray that nothing of her life will be lost but that everything in her which was great will continue to mean much to us and will evidence itself in the lives of her family.
