I worked with Patsy over the years at Alliant Energy. Although I do not believe I ever met her in person, interacted via email and phone calls. She was a pleasure to work with. My condolences to her family, you are in our thoughts and prayers in this very difficult time.

Patsy, I'm still in shock you are gone on earth. You were a wonderful neighbor and are missed greatly. The boys were just talking about when Dillon was little and he used to yell out the window to you, "I love you, Patsy", then duck down so you wouldn't see him. Lol
Prayers to your family to get through your loss.
Until we meet again,
Rhonda, Jack, Austin, Dillon and Noah.
