Patty,
I took the kids to school, came home got my coffee and cigarette and picked up the phone to call you!! I guess I'll have to just talk to you in my prayers, I know that you can hear them so I just have to get used to that. I miss talking to you every day.
John, Tammy, Jamie I am so sorry about Patty, she will be missed by all that knew her. We love her and miss her everyday. Please keep in touch.

Jamie your mom was a sweatheart, always friendly and welcoming. Know that she will be with you always in your memories and your heart. Greg I know how much you will miss Patty as she treated you as if you were her own son. Take comfort in the fact that she did indeed kick Doug in the butt and is always looking out for her family. Lots of Love

The poem above reminds me of Patti, she just LOVED sitting outside in the summer when it was warm. We will all know that you will be with us on the patio this summer and summers to come.

Warm Summer Sun

Warm summer sun,
Shine kindly here,
Warm southern wind,
Blow softly here.
Green sod above,
Lie light, lie light.
Good night, dear heart,
Good night, good night.

Jamie and Greg,

I am so very sorry to hear about the loss of your Mother! No bond is as great as that between a parent and a child. Know that your mother, your guardian angel, is now watching over you. Hold on tight to your memories for she will always be there with you. I love you both and if there is anything I can do for you, please let me know. You will be in my constant thoughts and prayers.

Love always,
Jill

Patti was such a WONDERFUL & VERY STRONG women. I have never known someone quite like her, she was so full of life. Patti always had such high spirits and never complained. May God comfort her now and always as she is home and free from all the pain and anxiety from this long painful road she lead this past year.

John, Jamie, Greg, Tammy & Dave, So SORRY for your loss.
May God Bless you and comfort now more than ever.

Patti your smile & you sure will be missed!

My Aunt Patty showed the greatest strength fighting her cancer any patient could. But she also had the strength of a great family by her side. I will miss you and will see you sometime in the future. Please watch over me. I love you, Becky
