I was so saddened to hear of Patty's passing. I had Andrew in my class at Briar Hill and I also knew her from the Boy Scouts...my son Jeff also went to Briar Hill and was a part of the troop. I have been thinking of all of you so much and even though this message is rather late, my sympathies are heartfelt and genuine. Again I am so sorry for your loss.

I moved to Farmingdale a little over 4 years and was thrilled when I discovered From the Garden. Patty was such a warm and friendly person and I always enjoy talking with her. We would talk about our love for bees and also our grandchildren. I brought my grandson with me on a few occasions and he loved seeing the bees and also Patty's beautiful truck. I am so shocked and saddened to read of her passing. My deepest sympathy to her family and all who were lucky enough to know her. Patty will surely be missed.

Patty Ann was my first cousin - I'm so sorry to hear this news and also sad we didn't know one another as adults . My Dad, David T Balschi was the brother of Patty Ann's Dad, George.

So sad for the family.

Dear Madzin Family, Patty was a very special person. I enjoyed every trip I have made to the farm over the past four years. There was never a time no matter how busy she was that she wouldn't ask "How are you? Everything good? " I know this might sound cliche but Patty was as sweet as her honey and as beautiful inside and out as her flowers! I will miss her very much. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family.

Patty was a sweetheart. Kind and generous. Thank you for giving me and my daughter the wonderful memories of visiting your shop. From the time she was 2, you would let her snack on your cookies and always gave her a honey stick. For the past 3 years , we have enjoyed visiting and seeing your shop grow! My mom would stop at your shop before work, and even if it wasn't time to open yet, you would! Patty is someone who you felt you have known your whole life, she has touched the lives of many. You will be missed. Thoughts and prayers to her family.

"We" because it means both you and me, A chummy , friendly word is "we"
"We" know the peace which friendship lends,
"We" hold the truth between good friends;
"We" part and parting makes us sad;
"We" meet and then the day is glad;
"We" know each others hopes and fears;
"We" share each others smiles and tears,
Friend of my own and comrade true,
The better part of "We" is You Dear Patty

I am so sorry and saddened to hear of the passing of Patty Madzin. I have lived in Freehold since 1986 and recently found the "honey farm" I would stop in here and there and see her there and talk to her. It was always a special trip. I didn't know her name, but I knew her face and her voice and her warm and friendly personality. And her shop. She would come to CentraState where I work for the Farmer's Market. I would tell people about the farm. My sister bought honey from her last August for my nieces wedding. She loved her. Because it was always such a pleasure to enter the store and see her and chat. She just had that natural friendly way about her. The concept of the farm is a phenomenal one. I will miss seeing her there as Im sure everyone who knew her will. She touched many lives . I express my deepest sympathies to her family as well.
