Sisters Sue Thomas, Carali (Dave) Moe, and many loving nieces and nephews.

Dear mom,
You were my guiding light in my life as you were for many of us when we fell astray. With you gone, we shall stumble in the dark for a while. However, I know that the lessons you taught us will help us persevere. Even in life, you were an angel picking us all up when we fell down and at our worst moments. I hope you know how much you meant to me. You were everything to me as a mom and best friend. Thank you for the countless moments that are precious to me such as birdwatching, walking Tank, and playing cards.
Love,
Jesse
Although Patty is gone, she lives in our hearts and memories forever.
