I would like to thank everyone for your kind words and prayers, I know Patty's son Greggory who is only 22 years old will really appreciate everything that has been contributed and the family is going to make a commemorative book which will include all of your comments. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I am sadden to hear of Patty's passing. I met Patty in the 5th grade when I was transferred to Lincoln School. She befriended me at a time when I knew no one at the school, for which I am grateful. I have many fond memories of growing up with Patty.
