Teri & Kelli ~ I stumbled on the message about Patti on facebook. I am very sad for everyone that had the opportunity to love her.
There are very few memories in my childhood that did not include all of you. Your house was my second home. I always wanted to be the 4th sister. Remember the arguments over who was going to be Billy Jo, Bobby Jo & Betty Jo - Blackhawk swim team - And the endless sleepovers. Your

Dee, Kelli and Teri:
I don't know how in the world I did not hear of the news of Patti's passing. I am so sorry you all are dealing with such a loss. I certainly would have been at the service. I remember so many times at your house, during high school. You all were always such a fun family. I am just so sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I lost my sister in 2002, and I know how much it hurts to lose a sister who is a part of almost every childhood memory. My heart goes out to your family.

Dear Dee and Family,

We were so sad to hear about the passing of Patti. You and your entire family are in our thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time.

I remember how sweet Patti was to our family and how excepting and excited she was for us when we adopted Hannah (16 yrs ago). Patti made our celebration of adoption such a joy!

Hannah still talks about the horse rides and all the kittens at her house. So thankful for the wonderful memories of Patti and her spirited personality!! Our world was brighter because of Patti!

Kelly & Terri, So sorry about Patti, she was like having another child. We loved her. She spent a lot of time at our house with Tracie. In fact, she got Tracie out of a lot of trouble. Or maybe helped her get into trouble, I'm not quite sure. Ha! They spent a lot of time together. Best friends. Hello to Dee. It's hard to loose a child. You don't get over it, you just learn to live with it. If you ever get to Florida, I hope we get to visit with you. Hugs Connie

My fondest memory of Patti is when we did physical inventory together, we laughed so much they made us separate! Sweet girl, your passing has left a dark spot. Your warm. outrageous sense of humor will be with me always. I hope you are at peace...

My thoughts and prayers go out to your family. I was Patti's hairstyllist for the last 7 years. She always put a smile on my face when she walked in, even though she dreaded her hair appointments because couldnt sit still :) and kept asking if we were done yet when we had just started. My greatest memory is how much fun we had when she took me for Chinese after a hair appointment because I wasnt feeling good. I will miss her dearly.

You were so much of a second family to me. Please know you are all in my thoughts, and my prayers. She will be missed terribly. What a wonderful friend I had.

We are so so sorry to hear of Patti passing. We are are praying for you Teri and your mom and sister. Although we don't always understand God's plan for our loved one when our hearts are hurting, (hard to see his reason right now), but I believe that he has such magnificient plans for Patti in her new home in heaven. May God's healing love reduce your pain and fill you all with peace. Our love and prayers to you all.
