Patty, you were truly a one of a kind woman with a heart of gold. We used to spend hours watching twilight together. You were one of the few people who could take a person in their worst days and turn them around with a smile on their faces. You were there and did a lot for a lot of people and never expected anything in return. You had an immaculate deeply loving soul. Rest In Peace Patty,  As for the family, each of you hold your own superpowers just like patty did. Her ability to put herself in other peoples shoes and give advice was impeccable. I’ve never met a family that is as loving as yours. You are all amazing people and I hope you know that. Keep your head up. You will meet again one day in a beautiful place where there is no pain.  I wish you all happiness and prosperity as this hard time passes and the courage to know that Patty is gone but her beautiful soul will never be forgotten ❤
