I knew Patty from a former job, she was the nicest person to work with, and to talk to, she once went out of her way to help me with directions on how to get to another company/city, and drove with me. I've never forgotten it. My condolences to her entire family.

I am sad to hear of Patty's passing. I grew up with her in St. Patricks Drill Team. She was on the Sr. Color guard I admired so much. I remember her grace and dignity the most. She was beautiful as a young women and wonderful mentor to us younger girls (all of 2 years younger) I remember big rollers, long hair, lots of laughter and fun. I am sorry for your loss and am grateful to have known her back then. I wish her family peace, understanding and love. I offer my deepest condolences for your family and community loss. May God Bless and watch over you all! Corinne McDermott- Shea - St. Patrick Drill Team member

Jenn,
I am deeply saddened by the loss of your mom. She loved you, Bob and the kids so much! She had so much pride in you all. Jenn, your enthusiasm to go above and beyond to help friends and family in time of need, your strength and compassion, and Bob, she was so impressed with your mad carpentry skills - she thought you were a master craftsman, she couldn't have asked for a better son in-law, and her grandchildren - there are no words for the love she had for them. Her family meant the world to her, you were her strength. She went through a lot over the years but always managed to find enjoyment in life and see the good in it. Your mom was a great friend and I will miss her so much. I'm hoping you will find comfort in knowing that you are in the thoughts of all of Patty's friends.
