Ma, You were taken from me too soon.  We had so many plans.  You made me the woman I am today, thank you for that.  I'm missing you like crazy, I'm angry that I'm writing this.  I hope I made you proud until your last day.  I will love you with all my heart and my heart will never be healed without you. I'm doing my best to fulfill your wishes for dad and I.

Such shocking news....my thoughts, prayers, and wishes go out to Brian & Michelle that you may be warmed by your memories....

Dear Brian & Michelle, it's taken me this long to write because words simply escape me. Speechless is not how Patty knew me, or I her. It's one of the many things I loved about her! She never hesitated to tell me what she thought, make me laugh at myself when I was being silly, or nag me about getting new tires on my car when I needed them. She was my dear friend, my work Mom, my reality check. And my life is forever better for having known her! My thoughts and prayers are with you both, each and every time I think of her, which is remarkably often. With love,

Patty was such a beautiful person.  I only had the opportunity to work with her for a short time, but feel very blessed to have known her.  She would light up the room with her laughter.  She loved her family dearly and will always be with you.  I am so sorry for your loss and my prayers are with all of you.

Patty......Thank you for being you.

Brian and Michelle, I am so very sorry for your loss.  Patty was a wonderful  person and friend who will always hold a special place in my heart.

My deepest sympathy to you and your family. So sorry to hear about your lost. Praying your memories will bring comfort during this difficult time.
