I knew Patty from St. Catharine's and Central Catholic. Although I hadn't seen her for many years, she is someone I will never forget. I recall the first day she returned to St. Catharine's after the devastating plane crash; I remember feeling so sad for her but what stayed with me was how she managed to show such courage for a little girl who just lost her parents. She was kind, generous, and made many friends in school. There was something about her that just drew people to her. Patty had a great sense of humor, too. I have many memories of her with all us girls at school dances, parties, at the shore just laughing. She was taken from her family and friends way too soon. Sending love and my deepest condolences to her family.

I knew the Hefele´s when they lived on 23rd Street in Allentown. They were a beautiful family. May Patti Jean rest in peace together again with her Mother and Father.
With sympathy from the heart to her entire family.

I write this with a heavy heart. Patty and I shared the same home room at ACCHS for four years. She was a beautiful and sweet person. I was hoping to see her at our 50th class reunion. Only to find out that she was ill. My thoughts and prayers are with you always Patty...
