Oh, Patti, what will I do without your friendship? We shared so much and laughed our way thru each other’s lives. I know you will be deeply missed by Kristin, David and your grandkids. I am already missing being able to pick up the phone and hear your voice, recounting your day and telling me of your plans. I was so looking forward to having my best friend back in Louisville. But the good Lord thought better of it and lead you home. Kristin and David, please know I am here for you and I love you for being so good to Patti.
Kristen & family-
I was so sorry to hear your mother has passed away! I hope time can ease your sorrow! Cherish the wonderful memories!
Love-
