Patricia M. Parlette

It has taken me a very long time to accept the reality that my dear friend is no longer on this level of existence. I still remember when she showed up in my 8th grade class. The California girl! She had just moved back to Connecticut from Santa Barbara. We instantly became friends and began to weave our tapestry. I was so blessed to see her when I would visit CT. Patti was there for me for every one of my family members' passings. This wasn't always easy for her since she didn't like...

My Condolences to your entire family, I'll always remember you as another Big Beautiful Sister all my Love to you and your little Brother Chris who was taken way to early in life. May you rest in eternal peace

Rest in peace, Pattie! Love you always

I met Patti through our mutual friend Judy. Then Patti became my friend. It feels as if her death happened so suddenly. I haven't been able to process that the world has lost such a beautiful person. I will miss her so much. I will miss her Joni Mitchell quotes. She had a song quote for every situation. Every time I make soup, I will miss getting to drop some off at her house.

A deep sadness, overwhelming, at the loss of dear and darling Patti. It was she who saw me through my doctorate, always encouraging me over the most challenging hurdles. I was an “older student,” in my 40s, and we shared a bond: two sons the same ages, who were teens during those years (1995-2001), and about whom we never tired of sharing our worries as well as our joys. I loved hearing from Patti about her contributions to cementing Joni Mitchell’s place in music history. And what an...

My dear friend of 55 years and Joni comrade. Rest in peace. You will be missed. Debbie (Jessica Angel). Love you.

I only wish Patti could read some of these tributes and know what a difference her loving, kind and caring spirit made in so many lives. Those she loved are better people for having known her and the world is just a little bit better place because of her. We will miss you dearly Patti but you will always be with us in our hearts. "Love is touching souls / Surely you touched mine. Cause part of you pours out of me / ... from time to time."
