Patty was a person I looked up to all of my life. She was the person who inspired me to draw, and want to be an artist like she was. She was the older girl cousin who wore make-up and stockings and did all the cool stuff you couldn't wait to do. And then she became the mother to beautiful girls, and dealt with whatever problems life doled out to her so selflessly. Patty was a beautiful lady that I will always love, and will be a better person just for knowing her. My deepest condolences to everyone in her immediate family, especially to John. I love you all......Karen Knabe
