Was so sorry to Patti passed, we met on FB and I even hung out with her when she was on her skateboard trailer trip, wish I could have seen her once more before she passed

I wished my whole life that I would get to talk to Patti and learn from her words but I sadly was never able to, I skate the hills of Santa Monica like she used to and I hope one day to go on a wild skating fame adventure, I am more then thankful to Patti because without her female skating would not be where it is today, I am happy to know that she got to see the female street skating in the olympics before she passed on. I say she died to soon but I know she lived to the fullest, I am a 8th grader like her when she started skating, Iv been skating for about 2 years and I wrote a speech about her for my school presentation on "who do you look up to?" Iv used her for just about all of my presentations and speeches, I even used her as a model of hope for all the female skaters at my school, In final words I will end with A light never dies it just grows brighter.
