Was sorry to learn of Patty’s passing. I knew Patty in high school and recall what a great laugh/smile she had. You knew it had to be funny if Patty got laughing! A great many of the boys had a crush on her, yet she had no arrogance– only confidence. She carried herself well. I liked that about her. In viewing this video of Patty’s life, it’s evident that she was surrounded with lots of love. That makes me smile. My sincere condolences to her family.
