I was honored to have known Patty. She was an inspiration to all battling this terrible disease. She inspired me to give service and I will continue to support the fight against ALS. She was blessed with a wonderful family and beautiful grandchildren.

Patty, you were an amazing Girl scouts leader, Brownie's leader and an even better mother . Every time I would go over you were always so nice. I remember when we had the Girl Scout slumber party in the backyard and everything that you had planned for us. That was one of my most memorable memories that I will ever have .You were like a mom to me and I appreciated you and everything you did. Just wish I could have told u while you were alive.

I never met Patty, but her generosity allowed my mother to borrow her special van for doctor appointments. The last time she borrowed it, my brother drove her to see my son-in-law perform in Camelot. She still speaks of Patty's thoughtfulness.
