Patti, What a pleasure it was to know your mom. She always had something interesting to share. I think of her often as I pass by her condo. You are both missed in our neighborhood.

On behalf of my Mom Anita and me we will always have the fondest memories of your Mom. She was the life of the neighborhood card parties and had such a great sense of humor. We are so sad for your loss and our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Patti and Sue. I have many fond memories of your mom. She always had me in stitches with her silliness and or I she had me steaming mad as I wanted to kick her butt when we were trying to get her to quit smoking. She did succeed and I was ever so proud of her. The stories she shared of you two were beautiful, treasure those memories. Suzanne Kelch

Patti,

Great comfort comes from knowing you did everything possible to support your mom throughout her life and to the very end. May fond memories bring you peace and the support of loved ones ease your sadness in the days ahead.
