I will truly miss PATEY! She was a very special lady. There will never be anyone like PATEY. There is now a deep void in my life, but in my heart she will always be. My prayers are with all her family that meant so very much to her, Dianne, Omar, Lissa, Tony, Troy, Kyle, Starr, and Ramal. She loved you all!
