Dear Family of Patsy...I just heard about the news of Patsy's passing, this morning from Debbie Andrews. I don't know how to express how I'm feeling at this moment. You always think that someone so funny and full of life will always be around to keep others going. My daughter is my everything to me....and I also lost my mother at an early age so my heart goes out to her daughters. Patsy, her sister Terri, my brothers Gary and Ron, her neighbor Debbie Thompson and Debbie Andrews and I all hung out for a number of years stirring up tons of trouble - when we were quite young. They are some of my best memories growing up. Gary and Ron died the past couple of years and I came so close to contacting Patsy. I now regret it so much. Her death is a huge reminder to me to get in touch with people that affected my life and meant something to me. In fact, recently I used the term "don't give me any guff" to my daughter and of course had to explain where that came from. Even the past month I thought about her and looking for her to email..how ironic. Again, my heart goes out to her daughters and family...I'm so sorry for your loss...I know it's a big one because she had such a presence. - With prayers, Sherrill Moncayo

Dear Patsys Family,

Patsy was an old friend from San Ramon. I hung out many nights in front of your house with a group of kids. We had great times. Patsy was one of the funniest people I have ever met, and I have the best memories of her. I had no idea she was ill and am deeply saddened at the news. My sincerest sympathies to your family and her children. Carrie Black-Decker
