This is a special hello to Patty from Stratton and Lucy. We miss you so much but hold on to the knowledge that we shall meet again one day. You were an amazing person in public and private as evidenced by all the internet poetry/writing friends who have come forth to sing your praises. Gone for now but certainly not to be forgotten. Fare well Miss P.

Patty is the funniest person I've ever met. She always had a way to put a smile on my face. I regret not going to see her in awhile and I miss those times hanging out with her and her family. I'm so honored that I could call you my friend. You will be forever loved and missed by everyone.

Ms. Patty was always very hospitable to me and a very sweet lady. I enjoyed my visits with her when she was in town. I am sorry she had to leave in pain but she is now in peace. The Loftin family has my deepest sympathies.

Patty, I wish we could have had another juicing party and game night wearing our favorite hats before you left us. Those are precious memories that I will forever hold on to. I'm glad I was able to come see you one last time at Christmas and I am so happy you met Heath then, too. Please watch over your sweet family; you will be missed dearly. I love you!!

I haven't seen Patty in years,I grew up with Patty. Her dad would cut my dad's hair. The sweetest three people you would ever meet(Patty, Mr. Abshire and Mrs. Abshire). I never met her husband an kids but kept up with her through my family wh did know her kids. Yes she is in heaven with her mom and dad. My sympathy goes out to her family.

I never had the privilege of meeting Patty, but she has been in my prayers for the past few months. I know she must have been an amazing woman because I do know her amazing daughter. Prayers will continue for the family at this difficult time.
