Pats,
I sent you a holiday card and was shocked to get the e-mail from your brother to say you were gone. Our days at the NASL were fun, crazy and will always be remembered fondly. We shared many antics with our friends from the Cosmos and logged many hours hanging out at The Front Row. You were and always will be one of a kind. I will miss you.

Pat,
I was stunned to find out you were gone. I will always remember the fun we had working together at 'Teen Magazine....especially our long lunches, staff parties, and Fuzzy Navel Fridays! I will always remember your zest for life, your smile and most of all your great laugh.

I just found out about Pat today. We worked together for many years at Teen Magazine. She was so creative and so caring. We have lost a great person...

Words cannot describe what a wonderful, sweet, caring person Pat was. I knew her from advertising and she was more of a person that one would expect. I will truly miss you... Your laughter...your kindness. May your memory be eternal.

My sincere condolences to the Willstatter family. I was one of Patti's professors at Skidmore and well remember her wonderful wit, her engagement with her work and her love for her friends and her family. No class she was in was ever dull. She will indeed be missed.

Patti: I can hear you laughing. Whenever I had a problem you would put a spin on things and I'd feel much better. Your nieces had a blast visiting with you in Chicago. it was so cool to take their first solo flights to visit their cool Aunt Patti. You will be so missed, beautiful Patti RIP. I can feel you here.

To the Willstatter Family, my deepest condolences.
Patricia, know that I have always had much admiration for you...to say that I will miss you doesn't express the impact you have had on my life professionally or personally...may your spirit continue to inspire me and memories of you always put a smile on my face! I love you-Sari

Patti-you were a much loved legend in the advertising business, I'm not sure there is a person currently selling OR buying that didn't know and love you. You will be missed, I will miss you.
