Patti and I were "sisters". We were one year apart, each having our birthdays in November. Our parents were close friends, always visiting each other after they moved from the old Navy homes in Pasco, where they were neighbors. I can't count how many weekends I spent at the Nestor's, Patti and I sleeping in until 1 or 2 in the afternoon in the very dark basement of their house on Lincoln Drive! Then pigging out on all the Spudnut doughnuts that were bought for the weekend while we went thru all of her brother's comic books! This photo is when I came home on leave for Christmas while serving in the US Army. She was the first person to come see me then because "she wanted to try my Army hat on!" I will miss you Patti - your unconditional love, your laughter, your friendship. I know that you have been a blessing to so many people who have had the honor and privilege to have had you as a part of their lives, as have I.

Patti was very involved in my childhood, and I grew up loved by her when I needed it most. Patti and Greg were always energetic and supported us for years. Thank you Patti for being one of my biggest cheerleaders and confidant. I love you endlessly Auntie <3

Patti and I were long time childhood friends. Her parents would come over to my house with Patti and John to get together with my dad. She was always so pleasant and smiling no natter what. She will be missed for sure.

My deepest condolences Scott and Taylor! I am so so sorry to hear about Mama Patti. She was a wonderful human, and sure did enjoy being with everyone at the rink. I will never forget our Thanksgiving together, it was absolutely one of the best Thanksgivings My dad, Ace and I had with you guys. I had some of the greatest conversations with her over the years. She will be greatly missed. If y'all need anything please let me know, much love your friend Rachel.
