Dear Friend David and your wonderful family,
Georgia and I are so deeply saddened by the loss of your wonderful Wife. As your workmate and suitemate for 7 years at SVC, you and I shared and joyed in the successes of our students and families and sorrowed at their sickness and setbacks. Patty was there always to share and care. The world is a much better place for her living, but life will dim for some time from her loss. You and yours are ever in our prayers.

Dear David, Sharon and Doug,
We were so sorry to hear about the loss of Patty. She has been such a wonderful and supportive mother through all the years we have had the pleasure of knowing her. There was never a time that Patty was not happy to lend a helping hand in support of her community and her children’s sporting and school events. Sharon and Doug are both proof of the wonderful parenting they have received.
Please know we will keep your family in our thoughts and prayers.
With Deepest Sympathy,
Michael, Linda,

Dear David,
i was stunned to learn of Patty's death last night. I had just seen her a few months ago. It seems we did most of our visiting in the supermarket and that day was no exception. It was good to see her. We had worked together for years, both at the VNA & again at The Memory Clinic. I had always marveled at her calm & clear headedness as well as her care and compassion when looking after her patients.
Having always assumed that we would eventually work together again one day, I am now simply glad of the opportunity I did have in getting to know her. She enriched my life.
My thoughts are with you and your family.

Dave, Sharon and Doug,
Please know that we are thinking of you. Patti was a constant presence at all the sports events and school activities throughout all these years. I can recall my 1st encounter with her when the boys were very small and Casey went to Doug's to play one afternoon. When I picked him up he said Doug's mom had baked them homemade pretzels and I thought 'Wow, who IS this woman ! I am impressed !!! :-) I said to myself - who makes home made pretzels in this day and age !' We will miss her but will always fondly remember her, especially when we look up to her special spot in the stands at the Hoosac basketball games. She always demonstrated graciousness and quiet strength. The world has lost a special person.
