Patricia M. HABEL

I am absolutely sobbing as I write this, I cannot regain my composure right now. This is from Debbie Henson,l knew and loved Patty more than anyone could know. I met Patty when she fell deeply in love with Tim, he was working for Vic Fazio then. She and I were roomates in Davis. I met her entire family, and I loved them more than they will every know. I just logged on to find her addres to send a Christmas card. My life has been sad and choatic, I did not wish this on her and Tim. This year I wanted to reach out, find out how she was, her sisters, brothers, mom, dad. I see this Obituary. I have just died inside. Patty was the most fun, creative, deep, so loving, warm, accepting. She was from a different world in her love of everyone. To see her gone, just kills me. I had no idea, which makes it worse. Patty always told me, if my " parents die, I will not survive Debbie". I knew her love of them so much. I also knew she snuck a cigerette her and there. I knew so much about her. She was fun, crazy fun, she was a professional, she was someone anyone would wish to mentor. I am so blown away right now, Patty, my heart is with you. My love is with you Tim. She loved you more than earth, and you were intially afraid of the age difference. Patty knew better. She loved having your son, she was so proud.Her parents were the most loving people on earth. Betty, John, where are you now. I am so hurt and sorry. I love you all, and am crying and praying for Patty and her family. I am so sorry. So sorry. Tim, I love you too, keep drinking the coffee. You were so concerned at having a child at your age, but just like Patty, she knew it would mean nothing. And there you are raising your child. Gold Bless you with all my heart. Debbie Henson, 775-461-3077, please if you get this , let me know how you are, all of you. I have no spell check, but my grief is so strong right now, I really knew Patty. She was so evolved and precious, just a deep, fun, sensitive human being. I love you Patty

My sincere regards go out to Patti's family! I knew her when we both worked for the Assembly at the State Capitol for many years, and she was a delightful lady to know and work with.
May she rest in peace and with no more suffering.

Tim: We grieve with you. Larry and Judy Sheingold

My love and prayers to the family and dear friends of Patti. She was a special part of my childhood....sleepless slumber parties,trips to the river, and swimming at Arden Hills..I will miss my friend-

"Quite the spirit...living on, unfettered by erratic cells, her soul spreads its energy through the universe while maintaining the core of her being. I did not know her, but I've known those like her and treasure them as I'm sure I would have treasured Patricia had I known her.

I am sorry for your loss." Bruce Lerner (Sacramento, CA)

Betty, "Little John" Tim, Jan, Laurie, Rob and family,
I am so very sorry about this event in your lives.
Patti and her family have been so special in my life, friend, babysitter, and a wonderfully cheerful person.
Patti, you will be in my heart forever as will all of your family.
Much love and compassion.

My love to you; Tim and John. I will miss Patti as a dear friend who ran with me, walked dogs with me, built chicken coops with our family and kept us all company on our mum's nights out. She was selfless and had a huge heart.

Patti was truly one of the nicest girls in jr. high and high school. I could always count on her and Val to be together sharing a laugh. I ran into her a few years ago at Arden Hills, and she looked exactly the same: cute and happy. I am so very sorry for your loss.

John and Tim: my deepest sympathies to each of you on your loss. I wish I could be there on Friday to honor Patti's life.

I knew Patti from Rio Americano HS. Very sweet girl with glowing, happy spirit. We served together in student government and went to a prom together. My condolences to her family.

Tim and family, I'm so sorry to read this news. The obituary really captures the spirit of Patti. There must be some consolation in knowing that her good work in the legislature left this earth a better place.

My heart goes out to John & Tim and the family. I know the love and strenghth you find as a family will get you thru the sad times, but the joy and great experiences with Patti will last you a lifetime. I'm so happy and privledged to have known her and friends and family thru her. My sincerest sympathy and love to both of you and family members.

I want to express my condolences to Tim, John. and the rest of Patti's family. Patti was such a wonderful person. I enjoyed her company very much. When you lived in our neighborhood, Patti was always one to let the neighborhood kids come over and play. I have a lot of fond memories of our neighborhood gatherings. I am sorry that she has left us so early. Take Care Sylvia

Tim and John - my thoughts and prayers are with you at this most difficult time. It was truly an honor and pleasure to have known Patti
