My dear Patty was my student and also my friend. We had Spanish classes in my kitchen. We had a good time always when we got together. She really loved the Spanish language and I enjoyed teaching her, specially the conjugation of the verbs. She also wanted to participate in the Guadalupana Society events and she would come and help when ever I invited her. I will miss her beautiful smile. ¡Adiós mi Querida amiga!

Pat was such a beautiful person… she was a teacher to my children, a colleague, and a friend. She will be missed but her dedication and spirit will be remembered.

One of my first friends that I met in River Rouge. I always looked up and admired Pat, she was one of a kind, not afraid to be authentically different. I loved Pat's quirky sense of humor and gentle kindness. She will be missed and remembered always. ♥️💔🙏 May she be at peace and rest eternally in heaven.

Patty was a great friend. We shared a love of parades and always made a point of going to the Thanksgiving Day parade in Detroit. We bundled up, and always found the perfect spot to view it. Always brought along doughnuts and bagels and something hot to drink. Patty loved doughnuts! I am really going to miss her.

My grandma always made me feel so loved. Im going to miss spending my summers and holidays with her, she always made my vacations more fun. I love her so much and I can’t wait until the day I see her again 🕊️🩷

I’m Patricia’s daughter Rebecca’s sister-in-law. I’m deeply sorry and saddened by her death, and know that she suffered greatly for such a very long time. Her body may have had enough, but her spirit most certainly lives and continues to and will forever touch the lives of her children, grandchildren, relatives, friends well past all of our lifetimes. The spirit never dies and is in every one of us. She is free of her pain and will be with you forever.
I send my most heartfelt love to Rebecca, Pat, Cecelia, Liam and Alexander.
Love, Kellee

My deepest condolences to Rebecca and the entire family. I only met Patricia a few times but her beautiful soul was quite evident. The world has surely lost an angel. May Patricia Rest in Peace with Our Lord in Heaven.  Rebecca, cherish the memories you have, they will never leave you. They will make you laugh out loud, and they will make you cry. Both are fine. Be grateful for the time you had together and know that your mother loved you, as I know you loved her. She was very proud of you. It is terribly difficult to lose your mother. But she is always with you, right there in your heart. God Bless You.

Rarely did Patty like to have her picture taken, she was gorgeous, but always very Humble person. I loved her company .

I have many wonderful memories of Patty coming to visit Las Vegas and doting on her grandchildren.
She was a very beautiful intelligent and no nonsense lady.
I was honored to know her and spend time with her.
She is leaving a big void1 in her Vegas family , I miss her.

Mother loved a good party with friends and family. She was the happiest when everyone was laughing, dancing and eating together. I remember how happy she was here celebrating her 60th birthday! It was a big crowd of loved ones gathering. I flew in with Cecelia for the big day. This  picture was taken early before the festivities began. I love her smile.

COME WITH ME

God saw you getting tired

And a cure was not to be

So He put His arms around you

And whispered ‘Come with Me.’

With tearful eyes

We watched you suffer

And saw you fade away,

Although we loved you dearly

We could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating,

Hard working hands at rest,

God broke our hearts to prove

He only takes the best.

It’s lonesome here without you,

We miss you more each day,

Life doesn’t seem the same

Since you’ve gone away.

When days are sad and lonely

And everything goes wrong,

We seem to hear you whisper

‘Cheer up and carry on.’

Each time we see your picture,

You seem to smile and say

‘Don’t cry, I’m in God’s keeping

We’ll meet again someday.’

You never said ‘I’m leaving’,

You never said goodbye,

You were gone before we knew it,

And only God knew why.

A million times we needed you,

A million times we cried,

If love alone could have saved you,

You never would have died.

In life we loved you dearly,

In death we love you still ,

In our hearts you hold a place,

That no one could ever fill.

It broke our hearts to lose you,

But you didn’t go alone,

For part of us went with you,

The day God took you home.
