Patti and I got to know each other when I was the nurse for her family doctor. My favorite story of hers was when she was pregnant with the twins and sat down, she couldn't see her knees.
She was always kind and ready to visit. My condolences to the family. I imagine she was a bright spot in your family and I'm sure she'll be missed. May you have many wonderful memories that you can return to for comfort.

Patti was an amazing and supportive mother to her children and their friends. She was always present at all of our sporting events and always welcomed us with open arms in her home. I have many fond memories of sleepovers at the
" Keller House". She will be greatly missed and forever in our hearts.
Sending thoughts and prayers to the family.
