Heavy heart today as my thoughts are consumed of a friend I had been Blessed to be reconnected with after many years. Today is a sad day for her family and friends. My condolences to Andy and her family. She loved you beyond words. I am so grateful to have been able to have had the chance to catch up with you on our lives, we talked about the loves of our lives, children and grand children and their sports.
We originally met back in the 80's through her sister Gloria. Patty, you had an infectious laugh, a wonderful sense of humor and huge heart. You will truly be missed. My last message from you was on mothers day. RIP, gone too soon. Pamela Elliott

We are so sorry to hear of the passing of Patty. We were neighbors in 1986 and I worked with her at the hospital. I will always remember her smile and how compassionate she was. Thoughts and prayers for Andy and the family.
RIP Patty

It was the time of Hurricane Gloria, my youngest son was having a bad time of it with no lights for days. I went over Patty's house with my son,when all of a sudden the lights went on.The first thing the Patty said and did was " O Good, I"m making real coffee " she then brewed a pot of coffee. By going over her house Patty had a way of making you feel like family. Patty had a lovely personality, she was a good person, mother and then especially a Grandmother.
