Jim, Christa, Joe, Bill, and Shelly -
We are so sorry for your loss. We will miss Pat's positive attitude, and shy, but very warm smile. She seemed to be a oasis of calm, who sincerely cared for everyone she met.

Her kindness will be remembered by all. Thanks to each of you for taking such good care of her, and doing all you could to make her life a little bit easier.

Dear Jim and family:

We were so sorry to learn of Patti's heart attack and death. Please accept our sincere condolences. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We were always struck by her upbeat attitudes in spite of all the many health problems she faced.

We realize how difficult her pain from Rheumatoid Arthritis was, having experienced that. But, then to add all the other problems, she was really a saint and we are sure her many sufferings brought her to heaven as they certainly were crosses on earth that she bore so well.

She loved her family very much and was always so kind to everyone. We were blessed to have her as a family member.

As your Mom has probably told you, we are in Florida so will be unable to attend Patti's funeral services. We will be there in spirit and have been praying for her and all of you.

Love,

Methodist Wound Clinic
