I have a few memories of Patty when she would come to visit Shelley. When Shelley was young(4yrs old) and lived with me, Patty came a couple of times to visit and we always had good times. The last time I saw Patty was when she came to Omaha while Shelley was pregnant with Juliana. She was in our prayers for many years and I trust now she is finally at peace, not only with herself but with the Lord Jesus. She has finally been set free. May God be with you all.

Peppermint Patti: My heart is with you always. You will be in my prayers and I wish you peace and happiness in heaven, which you couldn't find on earth. You were loved much by everyone and the most important part is you were very sincere and compassionate. God bless you.
