I remember Patti as a fun-loving girl, for sure. So sad to hear of her passing, but so glad that she is healthy and whole once again with no more suffering. When I read about a member of our class passing away, it makes me realize how we need to be thankful for everyday we have on this earth. I so loved my high school days with Patti and each one of you. Prayers of strength for Patti's family. Grace and peace.💜

This is so sad to hear. Patti and I were classmates for the first time in the second grade at Johnston Elementary. Her house (actually garage) was the first "boy-girl" party I ever went to that wasn't a birthday party. She was always so much fun to be around. Peace to all who loved her.
