Not sure what to say?

I always had a better day when Patty came into my office. I am so sad to hear this news. My thoughts and prayers to Doug and their daughters and family.

One did not need to know Patty well to see how creative, generous, and fun-loving she was. My deepest condolences go out to the Wallace family.

I am deeply saddened to hear of Patty's passing. She was a true light in my and other people's lives. I am grateful that she was a part of my life at NIU. May fond memories keep her alive in your hearts.

Your family is precious - Patty was such a ray of sunshine!! I'm so sorry for your loss. I pray the love of your family and friends carry you through this time of sorrow..

My heart aches learning of her passing. I have so many wonderful memories of her and our shared days as Cooker servers. Her wit unmatched and her laughter infectious. When she invited me around her grad school friends, I felt like I had the best big sister ever! My favorite memory might be the trip to Chicago with 30+ grad students who didn't belong in a hotel that nice! My sincere condolences to Doug and her children.

I´m so sorry. Patty and Doug led a group of kids (including my daughter, Katrina) in a cooperative imaginative journey that was so interesting! I loved walking with Patty. Her warmth and good humor were so uplifting. A bright light who was so easy to feel comfortable around. Hugs to family.

I miss her beyond measure. If you didn´t love her, then you didn´t know her.

So very saddened to hear of Patty's passing. It's been years since we worked together at the Cooker, yet I still have so many vivid memories of her humor, wit, kindness and loyalty. Condolences to her family and those who loved her. Mary

Broken hearted to hear of Patty´s passing. We shared so many fun times in the 90´s working at Cooker. Patty was well-loved by everyone there. Funny, kind, smart; just a wonderful person. I´m so very sorry, Doug, Maeve, Maya, and Kelly.
