I have known Patty and her family since grade school at St. Stephens Church and Grade School in Portland. Our families spent many wonderful times together. I send my love to Punky, John, Greg and their families, and to her lovely children. Patty was a bright light to everyone who knew her. She will be missed by all. God Bless you all!
