Martha, Bob, Rodney & Terry,

Please accept our deepest sympathy and condolences on Patsy's passing. She could go from being the perfect "mother" one minute to the glamorous "wife/hostess" the next without missing a beat. She was a terrific and outstanding role model for any family, especially her niece and great-niece. She was an amazing woman and will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. With love and rememberence,

Dear Boones,
It's been a long time since I have seen any of you, but I was lucky enough to see Patsy a few years ago on a visit to my parents home in San Diego. She looked wonderful. I wish I would have had the opportunity to tell her then how I attribute my love of swimming to her and Martha. They were a joy to watch swim and I wanted to grow up to swim like them. My very best to all of you in this time of sadness.

Dear Terry and Family,
I fondly remember your Mom "Coach Boone", from Crawford HS 1972. She is standing right behind me in my Senior Annual in the Girls Swim Team photo. I will always remember her as a positive and supportative role model and so very caring towards all of us on the Team. You were so fortunate to have had such an incredible Mother and I am very grateful to have had her as a Coach. I have such wonderful memories of my 3 years at Crawford HS. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Kind Regards,
Nancy (Myers) Woodward
Class of 1972 Crawford HS

I was sorry to read of your Mother's passing. What memories so many of us cherish from La Mesa Pool! Mrs. Boone was so dedicated not only to her own kids, but was a great cheerleader for the rest of us on the swim team! Such dedication and encouragement she exemplified. I'm sure that she will be sorely missed. My thoughts and prayers to all of the family at this time of great loss.
Sincerely,
