Joyce,Kathy,Carolyn,Diane,Vicki and Stevie,
I have lots of memories of Patty and St Al's. We were best friends, blood sisters as we called it. I beleive we caused Joyce alot of heartache back then because we sure new how to sneak out of windows weather it was at her house or mine. I will always remember her as she is part of who I am today and I am very saddened by her passing. If there is anything I can do to help ease the pain, weather it is just sitting and having coffee and talking about memories of Patty or more in dept, please do not hesitate to contact me. Love and prayers to all of you.

I also met Patty via the Oral Cancer Foundation Website.
She always responded to my posts and we shared some personal messages and emails.
She was a great inspiration and a wonderful person helping with my questions while recovering from surgery.
I and many others from the board will miss her greatly.
Am comforted to know she is no longer in pain and at peace.
