My name is Noelle and I am one of Patty's nieces. I just wanted to say a few words on behalf of me and my family on how much Patty meant to us.

My Aunt Patty was an extraordinary person, she was humble, unselfish, and cared for others. She was a dear friend and a second mom to me for 46 years and I have many fond memories. One memory that I share with my Cousin Allison is being left behind on walks because we couldn't keep up. Patty was so fit, ate healthy and believed in lots of exercise. She was always so full of energy.

Another great memory of Patty is how dedicated she was towards animals, especially cats. They were her children. She dearly loved her cats. She volunteered at Clowder House each week and loved every minute of it.

Patty also taught me many things. She taught me how to cook great meals. She also taught me how to fix things around the house. She also taught me how to paint. There wasn't anything Patty couldn't do Most importantly, she taught me determination. Patty was such a strong and compassionate person and I always admired her for that.

If you knew Patty, you knew she was dependable. She was always there to listen and offered guidance. If you ever needed help, you knew you could count on her.

I came across this poem which I would like to dedicate to Patty.

We close our eyes as we wipe a tear.
We just keep wishing you were still here.
We will hold all the memories deep in our hearts.
Through these memories will never part.

We close our eyes as we wipe a tear.
We just keep wishing this pain would disappear.
We didn't get the chance to say our last good-byes.
We just didn't think you could ever die.

We close our eyes as we wipe a tear.
All of your love we will always hold near.
In our hearts and our minds we will never be alone.
When our time comes...
We will meet you in heaven!
WE LOVE AND MISS YOU!
