Dear Evelyn, Donna & Family:
I am so very sorry to learn of Patti's passing. So many memories came flooding back of old times - playing in your yard, catching lightening bugs or just playing together. Many years ago... So sad Patti had to leave us so soon and I'm sure all of the family will all miss her. May your fondest of memories remain with you forever to sustain you through these difficult times.
With most sincere sympathy,
