My condolences to Patti's family. We both graduated from high school together in 1965 and we had many classes together. I hope her family finds comfort from all the wonderful things that are being said about her. My thoughts are with the family at this time.

Patti was a wonderful woman and we were so lucky to have known her. She always had a smile on her face and she was a very caring and loving person. She will be greatly missed. May God bless your family at this difficult time. You are in our prayers.

I met Patti in March 2001, in the chemo treatment room at Dr. Duer's office. Tragedy had struck both our lives that year, but out of it was born a very special friendship. Truly knowing each others pain and sharing the highs and lows only strengthened our bond.
We seemed to know when the other needed a boost, sympathic ear, kind word or a good laugh. Months could go by and I'd send her a card or give her a call and she'd tell me it was just what she needed. And she'd call me when only she could help and that always meant so much.
I've lost a good friend and will miss her very much.

"And now the end is near
And so I face the final curtain,
My friends, I'll say it clear,
I'll state my case of which I'm certain.
I've lived a life that's full, I've travelled each and evr'y highway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way."
It could have never been any other way. I will miss you deeply.

I had never met Patty but did talk to her almost every day through buisness (FWT). She helped me alot when I needed order information and/or a pick-me-upper to make it through the day. She always had something positive to say when I wasn't feeling well-she feeling worst. I called to check on her from time to time just to know she was doing ok and when I received the bad news it sadden me because we had always talked about having lunch and now it's too late. It's ok though, because she is not suffering anymore. To the kids, stay strong and know that you both had a very strong and caring mother.

I had the pleasure of meeting Patti in the early 1990s when I worked across the street from Production Metals. Since we were women in fields dominated by men, we shared a kinship and became fast friends. We would enjoy lunch together and were forever borrowing something, or helping each other fix the fax. Sometimes I spent more time at her office than my own!
I'll remember the good times and all the stories of her wonderful family. She had such a zest for life, and yes, her laugh was infectious and her cookies, the BEST.
It has been several years since I've seen Patti, but I was saddened to hear of her passing. She was truly a good friend and she will be missed.

Words cannot express my saddnes. I met Patti in 1989 at Summer Brook Apts. She wasn't just my neighbor, she was my dear sweet friend for the last 18 years. I'll always have the fond memories of pool days, going to the baseball and football games, eating chocolate chip cookies (that's how my father gave her the name as Cookie Patti because she made them for him every time my parents came to visit me )and of course her daily walks she took as she passed by my kitchen window. Patti was a beautifil person both inside and out. She had a beautiful smile and a giggle you'll always remember. My heart aches for her beautiful daughters, grandchildren, family and friends. I will deeply miss her, but never forget her.

I met Patti through my wonderful friend Efthemia when she lived in Arlington, Tx. Patti was a beautiful wonderful person and I am truely blessed to have known her, she always made us smile when we were down by the pool, or when I saw her on her nightly walk. I do remember her cookies, she made the best chocolate chip cookies! She will be missed greatly !

Becoming Patti's neighbor 2 1/2 years ago has truly blessed me. Her joyful attitude during stressful times will always be an inspiration to me. May God be with the family now and always.

We share in the sorrow of Patti's family and friends. She will be deeply missed, but never forgotten.
Our family had the honor of meeting Patti back in the 90's during a family vacation with Kenny and Cathy (my in-laws) in Arlington. It was great to spend a week with Patti and her grandson, Joseph, who was similar in age to my son. Cathy and Patti took the boys to Six Flags for the day, while I played golf with the guys. Boy, they were tired when they got home!!
In future trips, we would always ask Cathy to make sure we could see Patti while we were there. Patti was such a strong and caring person, she would be there with bells on even if she didn't feel well.
She was a beautiful person and we will miss her, but will cherish her memory and laughter for a lifetime.

While I never had the opportunity to meet Patti face to face, we spoke often by phone over the past five or so years. She truly had a beautiful spirit about her. I pray for God's peace and comfort to her family.

My prayers are with both the family and co-workers of Patti. I dealt with her for several years before her illness. Take comfort in knowing that she' walking hand-in-hand with God now and there is no more cancer.

I am thinking of all of you today. Your mom was a very good friend of mine, we lived in the Summerbrook apartments together for the longest time. The best of which were spent every sunny hour of the weekend at the pool. Getting wet, but not the hair! Those were great days. Your mom will be missed greatly and I'm sorry I won't be able to make the memorial.

My prayers are with each of you girls and your families. I have many fond memories with Patti, many include visiting about each of you, as we sat by the pool in our Summerbrook days. I was blessed to know her.

In business there are folks that come along once in a while who have certain qualities which we all would like to immulate; Patti was just such a person. We will miss her terribly yet cherish in our hearts all of the fond memories she provided. May God bless her family in this time of sadness.
