How can anyone forget the unique individual that was Patt Jones. The lady in the pink cowboy hat who was not afraid to try the outrageous, like the time we broke her out of a convalescent hospital, visited the local Subway sandwich shop for a favorite treat, took a quick cruise around Redding, then zipped back to her room just in time for bed check, a high five, and a blood sugar test that was off the charts! I can still see that smile on her face and her pride in having pulled it off. Yes, Patt was a free spirit, a one-of-a-kind, a model for doing your own thing. I admire that in her and I admire it in both her daughters, who each carry on the tradition in their own individual ways. It’s part of Patt that will live on.

I first met Patt at about the age I am right now. In a way I wish I would have had the opportunity to know her though her earlier years, to see the Patt that her daughters knew growing up. I know her from the stories I hear from each of them. The caring mother who counseled them each day, who was their mentor, who shaped them and prepared them for life. We each have our own piece, large or small, of the memory of Patt. Together we collectively have the memory that lives on. We will all miss her and we will all remember her. I’m very happy that we have this place to pay tribute to her life and to honor her memory.

Doing the bump with Bob. Thanks for the smiles Mom.

Remembering our Mom and friend...
Hard to believe that it has almost been one year.

Thanks to everyone who supported us with your love, prayers and support this past year.

TO EVERYTHING THERE IS A SEASON,
a time for every purpose under heaven.
A time to be born and a time to die;
A time to plant and a time to reap;
a time to laugh and a time to weep;
a time to kill and a time to heal;
a time to mourn and a time to dance...
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing;
a time to lose and a time to seek;
a time to rend and a time to sew;
a time to keep silent and a time to speak;
a time to love and a time to hate;
a time for war and a time for peace.

Ecclesias tes 3:1-8

We carry Mom's strength and joie de vivre in our hearts and memories... always and forever.

Here I am again, actually able to sneak a quiet moment. There's apple cider and cinammon in the air. The Christmas tree is up, wreath on the door, pretty twinkling lights outside, angels everywhere inside. All the cooking is done or prepared... ready to go. Everyone is busy, out and about... and I just can't believe you're not here this year Mom. Everytime I get blue tho' I somehow find myself singing a silly Christmas song. I'm just not myself! Could it be the presence of angels... again?! Merry Christmas Mom. Oh how I miss you.

Missing you Mom during this time of year... my b'day, Thanksgiving, fall colors, cleaning out closets, baking pies, cozy sweaters, cutting down the Christmas tree, neat rain storms. Somehow I know you must be an angel looking down upon us because there has been a heavenly touch in all of our lives these past few months.

...just remembering Mom. JUNE -- always the excitement of school coming to a close, and all that summer had to offer. Mom was always the backdrop to the stability and happiness that I experienced. Daisies she loved... and I remember the fun summer outfits she picked out for Wendy and I, often times with daisy accents. What innocent, light, worry-free days she and Dad provided for us. Thank you Mom for being a part of my joy... then, and now on those days when I can let go of my sadness and feel that you are still... close by. Missing your presence and those lazy-daisy days of summer.

Mom was in color, always, and she could turn any moment into a magical event. She passed that on to my beautiful wife, Wendy. Mom seems to be hiding around every corner in some thing that reminds us of her and her sentimental way. She is one who'll be here with us always - not to be over. We really miss her a lot.

I remember her in these pix today:

Mom is not in this physical world anymore, but she still has life. She is still alive inside of me. In a similar way, for nine months, I was once living inside of her. You see, Mom is present in everything I am, in everything I do, and in all that I will become. And, when it is my time to die, I will return to her loving arms, from whence I first came. In the meantime, I will try to remember the feeling of our last sweet embrace.

I will always love you, Mom. And I miss you again today, as every day.

I think of Patt as one whose sense of humor was both fun and helpful as we were growing up. Noreen and I always respected her great sense of adventure. She had the ability to pick up and move and find friends wherever she went. She and Jim raised two lovely children. Her memory will always be a part of our life.

God bless all the family,

Lee and Noreen Mason and family

Among the qualities I appreciated most about Patt were her humor and hospitality. I enjoyed joking and egging her on. She loved to laugh and was always ready for some good humored sparring. Thanks for the good times Patt...Bob

Patt Jones (that's how I know Patt) had a presence that was bigger than life. Whenever Patt was at a gathering, things were always more fun. She had an energy that was positive and silly and sweet, and a laugh that was contagious. Although she was the Mother of my dear friends Juli and Wendy, she always felt more like my peer. She was someone I felt I could confide in, and she would with me. Patt was she was so interested in other people and their lives.

Patt also really appreciated and enjoyed the beauty all around her, whether it be a flowering tulip tree or antiques and home decorating.

Thank you, Patt, for raising two beautiful girls! I am glad to have known you, Patt Jones!

Her name was Patt with two ts

Her goal was always to please

She had her very own style,

and could always get a smile

out of me

Now, Patt was extremely smart

And she had a huge heart

But, the very best part,

Was her spirit that was so free

I miss you Patt with two ts

She could really cook a meal

And would always make you feel

at ease

That was our Patt with two ts

I love the times that we shared

Nothing could have compared

In my heart you'll always be

So long, to our Patt with two ts

Patt was a wonderful aunt. She loved our family, always taking interest in Cheryl and me, and spoiling Jill and Jon. She was full of the joy of life, telling stories and making us laugh. Her laughter was the laughter of faith and joyous living. She liked to tell me stories of the early days of the family in Monterey, when my dad and all the children had the run of town. Aunts like Patt have a special role in the lives of nephews. They provide a window into the adult world of the family that's slightly different from that of our parents, but nevertheless we see clearly the love and family ties that bind us all together.

I remember all the neat things Patt did for her little sister, me, when I was a little girl. I would visit her in San Francisco and she would always make it a very special visit. When I was little and Patt would come home to visit she looked like a movie star to me with her beautiful long legs (at nine years old mine were long and skinny)and her wide smile.

May she be remembered everytime a new wildflower blossoms in the Trinity Alps. Diane Schlueter, Patt's little sister.

Patt was a woman who turned her life around and made it so that she could radiate positive energy in her last years. An achievement I learned from, a heart I miss.

We have had the pleasure of meeting Patt during several family events. She had a way of making me feel I had known her for years. I will never forget her infectious smile and upbeat personality. She symbolized the way I want to age...with zeal and zest !! We miss you Patt.
