I am so lucky to have known Patty and Tom and their wonderful family. They have truly been a blessing in both my life and my daughter’s life. Patty was an angel on Earth, a beautiful person inside and out. I don’t think I have ever known someone so giving and loving. She always made me smile with her compliments and good words for every single person she was around. My thoughts and prayers are with Tom, Melissa, Kurt, Tommy, Jordan, Joelle, Ava, and all of Patty’s family and friends.
