Condolences
Please convey to Tina and the family our condolences over Patty's death. We greatly enjoyed the times we were able to get together as an extended family. I was unable to get back to her since her message was sent to me using a cell phone number I do not have.
I will forward a copy of Patty's obit to my brother and sister. I have already called and talked with both of them. I wish I could be there for Patty's service but I have a medical appointment on Tuesday that I need to keep.
