Patti Marek

Patti, I'll miss seeing you sitting outside when I leave for work, and stopping by to chat and laugh as you sit in your chair surrounded by your colorful flower decorations. Thanks for welcoming me to the neighborhood when I moved in last year. I feel sad seeing the now-empty spot where you always used to sit and hollar "helloooo" as I left the house. I'm sorry I didn't get to say goodbye.

I'm so sorry and sad to hear of Patti's passing. We were close childhood friends at St. Alphonsus School. I have many memories at the O'Rourke home on Leonard St. Always a laugh we had when we would bump into each other through out the years. My deep condolence to the whole family at this time. My Patti Rest In Peace and in Glory in Heaven.

I've known Patti and her siblings my whole life. They are 2nd brothers and sisters to me and my siblings. My mother and Patti's mother were best friends and cousins.

My very earliest memory of Patti was when we lived on Lincoln Street and our moms, Pat and Lucy, said that Patti could spend the night. We were SO excited. I think Patti and Mugs were about 5 years old. The main entertainment of the evening was jumping on the beds with our celebrity cousin - Patti! We have so many memories from those early years and they continued when we moved to Grand Haven. Patti will always be part of the fabric of our life stories. Rest in Peace sweet girl.

All of us at the Alpine Branch will miss you! Thank you for coming to my home to meet Bear, he enjoyed it so much.

The neighborhood won´t be the same without you. You always looked out for everyone, welcoming both people and their dogs with heartfelt warmth and kindness. I´ll deeply miss your presence and your laughter.

Will miss you a lot my friend. Good times, and bad times. Lots of laughs at the most stupid things. Rest easy "toots". We will meet again.

I am so sad for the whole family for your loss of Patti. I will always remember her laugh and how welcome she always made me feel. God bless her in heaven.

To Patti's children and siblings, I am so very sorry. I went to school with Patti's sister, Maureen. Knew and loved the whole family. Patti used to babysit me when my Mom & Dad went out. All of you will be in my prayers.
