Oh, my beautiful “Big Sister”, how we will miss you, your generosity, and that infectious laugh of yours, safe travel until we meet again. All my love…
Aunt Patti was a beautiful and sophisticated lady and I am grateful to have known her. She always had a kind word and a warm smile to greet you. I will miss talking to her about her love for her sweet dogs, whom I am sure were quite spoiled by her love, attention and gentle, caring nature. As well, she always had such sweet words about my boys and went out of her way to make sure we knew she was keeping up on them as they grew. She will be missed. My love goes out to her sisters, brother, nephews, nieces and other family and friends… she will surely not be forgotten by any of us. With love and warm memories, Meagan
I am so sad because I know the emptiness the family is going through. I so want to be there to give hugs and talk about the awesome memories we have as kids – from staying OUT OF Patti’s bedroom, to watching her take such pride in her beautiful garden.
There are miles that separate us, but my heart is there.
With Love,
Norine
