Not sure what to say?

I am so saddened by Patty's passing. We hadn't seen one another in so many years, but I will always remember our friendship in high school and how much fun we had together. Patty was always so kind and thoughtful, and knew the meaning of friendship. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.

I met Patty when she worked at the On the Run (now Pit Stop) just down the road from where she lived. She was always sweet and wonderful. Even after she was diagnosed with cancer, I would stop by her house and check up on her and the family. I express my sincere sympathy to the family, but treasured the chance to know the spirit she was.

The last time I saw Patty was at our 10th Ferguson High School Reunion. Patty, Brenda Wiggington and me were the only single ones there. I knew Patty's 1st husband for a while due to his job and she teased me for not introducing them earlier. I never saw Patty again because I moved away. I'm sorry to read about her passing! Patty, you may be physically gone but not forgotten! I'll see you on the other side. God Bless you and your family. Peace.

Thinking about you and your family. All are in our thoughts and prayers. You'll be missed.

Dear Nancy and family,
With great sadness, I read of Patty's passing. We do not expect to lose our children and I am so sorry for your loss. May God comfort and sustain each of you as the days pass. Hugs to each, Shirley Jones (one of your Palmer friends and David and Angela would remember me as Robert's mom.)

There are no words that can do Patty justice. She was like a sister to me & I love her deeply. Patty, may you Rest In Peace.

These are the times that we face. In this world the are challenges that we all face and Patty faced one of the toughest ones. But don't think that she is gone forever, in the bible It said that the ones who died are at sleep. In the new world there will be resurection. But now Patty is in a deep sleep.

My friend, my inspiration and the strongest person I have ever met. Patty gave strength to others the last three years. She will be missed. Look to the heavens and find the brightest star and that is Patty. She is the angel that will always be there for the ones she loved.

Fate brought us together as neighbors, our children brought us together as friends. You were tough as nails, and kept your cancer at bay longer than anyone thought possible. You were a true fighter until the very end. You loved your children fiercely, and that is what I will always remember most. I will miss getting home from work and coming to sit on your porch to visit with you, those were special times for many years, as we traded our advice, worries, woes, and happy moments. And I...
