She was best mentor to my sister, and then others in our family, and forever thankful for her love of all. BTW, she was courageous and then never letting her condition work its way into the loves of her lives. She was strong to the end, this I am sure of.

So sorry to hear of Patricia's passing. Audie has told a story, and I would like to share it here. Patricia had a role in the show Man Without a Country. Audie was talking to Patricia after he and some friends had watched the program. He friends told Audie that she was mean to the man in the lead playing role. Audie shared this with Patricia, and Patricia said " I was doing my job" That was over 40 years ago and Audie has never forgotten!! She will be missed. Audie and Debi Chiolo

As the lights dim on Broadway to honor Patricia's passing, those very same lights will go from darkness to full house lights guiding her way to Heaven where here body and soul will be healed and anew. Patricia's passing this close to Christmas means that to me, she was God's gift to us by way of her talent in portraying many characters through out her career, now we as much that our hearts are sadden, we must give back to God with greatful hearts to known her. As we come together in prayers and thanksgiving for all the love of family, friends and the many fans of Patricia be that light for her and those family and friends that have gone before her and greet her as she now will be a part of the celebration of the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. I, as a devoted fan of One Life To Live, I truly miss the show and all the wonderful people who brought it to life, May God's Peace and Grace be for ever with Patricia's family,friends and those who made One Life To Live possible.
