Patty S. MacDuffie

I can't believe it is nearly a year since you left us Patty, you are still very much missed but your legacy lives on with your forum, Computer Haven, still helping people with their computers. Love to your family from me, letting them know how much you meant to me and others who carry on your work. xx

I know MacDuffie from her many years hosting Computer Haven.

I first encountered Patty through the Microsoft Newsgroups as so many others. I was lucky enough to meet her in person at the MSMVP Summit on several occasions. If there has ever been a champion of the regular computer user it was Patty. She will be missed and remembered by everyone she helped. Now its time for her next adventure.

Patty was a wonderful person. I enjoyed her wit and wisdom. Rest in peace!
