My beautiful, fun, loving, classy, sassy, regal Aunt Patty. As a child I would look at you in awe. The lady who lived in many places including Spain, your black convertible with it's white top. Your laughter and fun loving ways. Visiting you in Ohio so often and enjoying your cooking. You even had a bicycle built for 2!!!! The memories I have are endless & precious. Our many 'sassy' talks - your wise words - your sense of adventure. Your dance recitals. Our times in PA, Atlantic City, Milwaukee and LV. You were my idol . Love you forever.

Mom, I don't know how to say goodbye, so all I'll say is I love you and will miss you terribly. I call you Mom because that's what you've been to me for so many years. I turned to you when I was laughing or crying, it didn't matter. You were always there for me. I am so sorry I didn't get to spend more time with you. I loved to sit and listen to your stories of years past. You were always so strong and taught me to be as well. I will remember you always, Mom. And you will always hold a special place in my heart.
