You could always count on Patty to tell you she was proud of you, cheer you on, and lift you up when you needed it. She was a voice of discernment and accountability to so many, and her words will be forever cherished by those who were lucky enough to hear them. Her faith and wisdom guided her throughout her life. Her footprints left a path that can be followed, but will never be filled. We will forever miss her smile, her love and her laughter.
