My heartfelt and most sincere condolences to Richard & Eric and extended family at this truly sad time. I am Patty's cousin, Joe & Theresa Ellis are my parents. Patty proved to be a source of such strong support & positive encouragement to me over the past few years...funny how after years between contact with a cousin, she was a wonderful sounding board & gave me pure, simple loving support when I lost my husband. She is at peace, out of pain and forever doing what she did best...watching over the rest of us... God bless & my love to all, Joyce

My deepest sympathy to Richard and Eric in the loss of your wife and mother. Patty was my cousin. My parents were Patty's godparents - Joseph & Theresa Ellis of South Weymouth. I have many fond memories of Patty and will cherish these memories forever. May God give you comfort and peace in knowing Patty is safely home.
