With Patty. I will Always remember Patty for her beautiful smile and Big Heart!
When she first came back to Gaylord, I saw her and recognized her right away after all those years. She was looking for a job and I talked to our store manager, I told him she was Good, Hard working, Very determined, and would be Great with people. sShe was hired and that’s where she met Guy and was so
Happy. She will be Missed.
I’m so Glad there is no more suffering and she is Now Home With The Lord
Prayers for all of you.

I am deeply saddened at the loss of your Patty. We met when I was in high school at St Marys & George asked my Dad if I’d sit with their kids. Patty even then had that sweet smile. I offer you each comfort & my prayers.
