I'll never forget Patty who made me feel at home from day one at WJH. Patty was just one of those special people who always made me laugh with her sassy comments & "man-chasing" ways and Christmas socks. We'll all miss her.

Dear Colleen, Jason, and family,

“The angels are always near to those who are grieving, to whisper to them that their loved ones are safe in the hand of God.” By Eileen Elias Freeman. Never knowing what to say at times like these I thought perhaps this quote could give you some comfort. I am so sorry Colleen. If there is anything I can do please know you can rely on me.
Love, Di

Colleen, Chris, family members, and Ron:

My deepest sympathies to all of you during this difficult time. Patty (Ma) was taken way too soon. Her light will be missed by everyone whose life she touched. I am thankful for having known her and having her be a part of my life for the relatively short time I did know her.

I pray you find peace in knowing that she is with her Maker and is once again whole.

From one of Ma's H.I.T.s (Hussie in Training),

I will remember Patty as a woman with many nerve's to spare because she was always "on her last nerve" at West Jr High! Thanks for all the laughs Patty!

Dear Colleen, Chris and Ron,

I am so sorry for your loss.

I will never forget working with Patty at WJH and the "Patty and Susan" show. We made a great team. I'm really going to miss her and am so sorry she and Ron were unable to make that trip to Montana to visit us.

You will be deeply missed by those who were close to you as well as those who were blessed by knowing you only for a short time, like me.

I'm thankful my brother, Ron got to share his life with you these past few years. I will keep the memories of our few conversations we shared in my heart, rest in peace Patty.

I pray for peace for Chris and the rest of your family. May God comfort your family and friends grieving. Amen
