Andy, I was so saddened to hear of Patti's passing. She was the kindest, most thoughtful, most dedicated individual I have ever had the honor of knowing, and the best roommate anyone could ask for. She was an angel on Earth so I know she's with the angels in heaven. May God's peace be with you and the boys.

Mishaw family-
Patti was kind, thoughtful and so much fun to be around. I always enjoyed going to the pool and pulling up a chair to gossip and laugh. I am so sad to hear of her passing, but will keep you all in my prayers.

Andy, West, Austin, Connor & Jared,
Our family was so sad to hear about the loss of Patti. She was such a special woman. If we were at the pool or a lax game, she always had a smile on her face:). She made some of the best ornaments at the annual ornament party. I still have several, my favorite one is the diet pepsi can gold angel! I always smile when I put it out each year. Patti loved her boys! I hope the memories of her smile will comfort you all. She is and will always be truly missed.
Love, The Mooney Family

My thoughts and prayers are with your family at this sad time. I had the opportunity to work with Patti on after-Prom activities for Brandywine High. Patti made it a success, as well as all of the other school activities she was involved with and supported.

Patti was not just a loving wife of Andy and a wonderful mother to her four sons, but a magnificent friend to many students of Brandywine High School, especially for those on the football and lacrosse teams. She was a loving mother to them also. She will be always remembered.

Andy and family. As you know I never met Patti but felt like I knew. I started sending her cards when she and my husband were diagnosed with cancer. She passed away on my husband's 71st birthday. He passed away 8 years ago. You are all in my prayers still.

Words cannot express how truly saddened I am by the passing of my cousin. Growing up, I remember Patti as the one that could light up a room when she entered it. She was always funny, caring, and kind to everyone she touched. I admired her relationship with her husband and had such respect for the way she raised her boys. Please take comfort in my words and know that you are all in my prayers and I am truly sorry for your loss....
