Leah & Family, patty was an amazing human being, funny, big heart, sassy and so loved. We will miss her deeply. Your mom & my mom were best friends since high school and that friendship stood the test of time. There are so many fond memories ,we laughed, cried , celebrated milestones and everything in between. Patty was the life of the party, her smile, laugh and spirit we will always keep close to our heart. Your mom was so much like a sister to my mom and always was the first person she would call. May the mighty hand of God give you great strength, comfort and peace in this difficult time and the journey ahead. The friendship our mom's had is a beautiful gift from our Heavenly Father and that will continue on because patty left her legacy and that is you Leah, your now her great light to touch lives and pass on all the things she has taught you. We are always here for you , prayers going out to you and your entire family. Our deepest sympathy, Stanley, Carol & Candi.
