Pat and family, I was so sorry to read of Patty's death. Losing a child is something that is not supposed to happen. I am thinking of you all and know that with God's loving help you will get through this.
I love you, Pat. Please take care.

Patty, old friend, you were one of a kind. You grabbed onto life with gusto and humor, and made it a better place. You will be sorely missed. My condolences to the family.

Dear Pat, Jackie, Carolynn and family. We are so sad to hear about Patti. Although we hadn't seen Patti in years, our family memories are sure shared. Patti seems to have had a fulfilling life - I wish we had stayed in touch. She was always generous - the girl scout who gave up her gifts to those who were without - and the mediator between all the sisters. We are both living in Tempe, Az - Connie moving in with Bree after Roger died in 2007 - so are unable to attend the service but our prayers are with you.

It was such a shock to read Patti's obituary in the paper. It seems like yesterday when all of us were neighbors watching those Friday night horror movies together. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. With God's help, you will find the strength to endure the loss. Memories will keep Patti alive in your hearts forever. My love to all.

Jackie, Carolyn, Pat and families: I am sorry to hear of your loss. It has been years since I have seen Patti, or any of you for that matter. That does not mean that I have forgotten all the times we used to spend together because of our moms. Carolyn it was nice talking to you the few times we have over the last couple of years. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. If you need anything, don't hesitate to call.

I remember Patty very well from our "younger" days at Muni and STG. We worked on and back stage together as well the SMOYAAB for Muni, yearbooks, etc. Although I lost touch over the years, I remember many good times in the house on Governor and at parties. Please accept my thoughts and prayers.
