Patti was my cousin and she will be missed very much. Patti was always making jokes, that's what I'll miss the most. She could make jokes about anything. She never did it to hurt anyone-she just wanted to have fun. We had alot of fun shopping with her and my sisters. I think we all should have her sense of humor. Life is too short not to have fun. Patti, may you now, really have the peace you were looking for all your life.

Love

Debbie

I am Pat's first cousin Steve who lives in Green Bay, WI.



When I was a little boy growing up in Chicago I remember going to North Avenue beach many times with Pat. I think Pat just took me as a way to meet boys! Lol. We also had lots of great times at my Dad's company picnics, boating at Diamond Lake with Uncle Ted's hydroplane and going to Auntie Sonia's for the Fourth of July.



Pat will be missed but has finally found her Peace and is with Jerry once again. Pat please say, "Hi" to all the old "Hotshots" for me.



We love you!



Steven

Carrie, Bill & family:

I just heard that your Mom has passed on to a better place. I know what a difficult time this is for all of you. I also know you can take some comfort in knowing that all her pain & suffering is over and she is reunited with your Dad. My prayers are with you & Bob & Bonnie & their family.
