Six years later, same inspiration. We never know who we touch on this journey through life. Patty's touch on my life was special and lives on.

Four years later, I still think of Patty often with warm memories and a smile. Miss you! Sure wish we could share one more chat. I know your girls and grandchildren carry your love and hope in their hearts.

I am shocked and saddened to learn of Patty's sudden passing. We were HS mates at SWHS, Mpls, but really became friends on 2NW, Allison Hall, CSU. As others have said, Patty's humor and zest for life and love of family will be her legacy. She touched us all with inspiration. My condolences to all her family.

I had the pleasure of knowing Patty at Colorado State. I have many wonderful memories of her. She was such a "live wire" and a big influence in my life. My condolences to her family and friends. Nancy "Nanu" Jones

Patti was a joyful person - always laughing and boosting everyone's spirits around her. Her artistic and creative gifts were amazing. I am so sorry to hear of her tragic sudden death. But I know for absolutely certain that her love and joy in her children and grandchildren are the things she would want us to most remember and nurture.
