I have known Patty for a long time. She and her family were next door neighbors to my grandparents for many years when I was young. Patty and I also worked at Gerbes at the same time when I was in high school. I think Patty was at her happiest when she worked at the Primary School with all of the little kiddos. She always had a smile on her face and a good words for everyone. I offer my condolences to the family.
My sincere condolences for your loss may the God of comfort be with your family during this most difficult time. Please find comfort from these words 2Corinthians 1:3, 4 and Isaiah 25:8.
Thinking of you Ricky and LeAnne
I was so sorry to see that Patty had passed away. Buddy used to come visit Ron and I when Ron was alive. So sorry for the loss of your mother. May the promise at John 6:40 bring a measure of comfort to the family at this difficult time .
