Patti was such a talented individual. Always ready to help someone who was in need, she unselfishly gave of herself. Patti was bright and kind and funny. I will miss her friendship and buoyant personality for the rest of my life. Goodbye Patti. There are no more medical tests or pain or doctors or transfusions or any other remnants of the horror show that is cancer. You fought the good fight. There is nothing else to be done now. Enjoy your rewards. We all hope to see you again and bask in the light of your happy smile. Fly high, Patti. Until we meet again. . .
