I am so sorry. We haven't crossed paths in 32 years; we shared a past in FL. We've lived in the same area now but never connected again, we could have been friends. A great loss.

I was and still am saddened to hear about the passing of Patti.  Although I didn’t know her as well as others, whenever I saw her she made you feel as if you were close friends, greeting you with a “Hi Sweetie” giving a compliment about how you looked nice that day.  She certainly lit up the room with positive energy, her great smile, wore the best shoes and will be missed by many.  My heart and thoughts of empathy continue to go out to Patti’s family, David, Deb and all her friends that are heart broken.  May the love and memories you all shared together bring you some comfort and peace over time.   Patti is still around forever in spirit and is a new shiny star that shines bright over you from heaven all day and night.

Goodness, what a sweet soul...always a smile, a caring word or a hug to lift your spirits. I miss her messages via the phone, a call or across the computer...hearing her call me that nickname that only she used 💕 Patti touched so many lives and will forever be in our hearts. Thank you for letting me call you my friend....it was a privilege and an honor.  I know you’re watching over us. Rest in peace now...until we meet again!  Hugs, sweet lady...

I am absolutely heartbroken that I will never hear your voice or see your sweet face. We have shared so much over the years...both joys and heart aches. You were my rock when I needed you. I will miss you terribly and I will think of you daily. Blessings and love to your sweet family. Until we meet again. Love you always.

Patti and I exchanged a lot of words, and right now I'm at a loss for any. She would've known exactly what to say to make things better, or at least paint them in a light that would make all of this more bearable.

Thank you, Patti, thank you so very much for all the warmth and color you gave to me and so many others so freely.

My heart is sad for the loss we have all suffered. Patti was an amazing, happy and loving person. She was always in tune to people and could tell when that little extra was needed. When you needed it the most,  there would be a note, a card  a call or a message from her. Our hearts are so broken! Murata, friends and family will remember that sparkle you brought every day! RIP my sweet friend until we meet again! Love Karlene

Patti,
Friends don’t go away, they walk beside us every day.
Unseen, unheard, but always near.

I will miss your hugs❤️

My Dear sweet Patti,
     As many have said, I too am in disbelieve.  The news of your passing has been devastating to many.   You were one of the most caring,  giving and supportive  person that anyone could ever encountered.   I was so blessed to call you not only my co-worker but my friend.  Your beautiful smile, warm hug, humorous comments will be deeply missed.  
    Our muRata family will forever fill the void and we will miss you tremendously.  My heart breaks for Deb, David, George and your family.  I pray for God's comfort to surround them today and always.  I love you my friend, fly high sweet Angel until we meet again.

My dear Patti.  Even though we lived miles apart, I have always loved you dearly.  I will always remember your wonderful laugh and smile.  You will be sadly missed by so many that truly loved you.  You will always be in my heart!  I'm quite sure mom and dad with be there to greet you.  Maybe uncle Bill too!
  
I send my sympathy and condolences to David, Debbie and Georgie, who I love so much..  God Bless!

Aunt Rose Marie 

My heart breaks to hear about Patti passing away.  I remember the day she was born.  She was the sweetest baby, probably the first cousin that I had having a baby and that made her very special to me.  As she became an adult her personality blossomed and she inherited her Mother's personality always making people laugh and she was definitely the most caring person.  My sincere sympathy to David, Debbie, Georgie and their families.  I know Patti had a lot of loved ones waiting for her on the other side.  You will always be in my heart Patti, until we meet again.

It is so hard to try to understand I will never see her sweet face or smile again. I miss her saying Good Morning Sunshine, and I will especially miss listening to her whistle while she worked. She had a great whistle. My heart goes out you, David and Deb, she was truly precious!

You were always filled with love and passed it on to those around you.  Keeping you all in my prayers.  Love, Ellen

Your Mom did a fantastic job and passed her love and kindness to her children.

This is too much for me... thinking too much about how life goes so fast and when angels in our life shows up for a reason and you were one of those angels... teaching me/us how to be a beautiful person... how to be better in life... how we should appreciate and thank what we have around us... 3 years has passed since I started working in Murata... 07/18 was my third anniversary... impossible to forget from now on.. you will be always on my heart and I know you are with the lord now letting him know how  beautiful your life was... the best angel ever seen before.... it hurst me a lot because I could never meet you in person... but at the same time it was really magical, but see you soon of that I am sure... we will talk again about life, Murata and family and I will show you how my children keep growing... and I will let you know that it was never the same after you...

I was not ready for the news of Patti's passing it really made me very sad she was one of the most beautiful person anyone could know.  I loved Patti as a true friend she could bring a smile to your face no matter what was troubling you. I will miss her dearly. I know she is in a better place but still miss her smile. God bless the family and give them comfort during these times.

I am still in disbelief from the sad and sudden news of Patti's passing.  Though I had not seen her in a while, I kept up with her through Deb.  The two of them share the same fantastic sense of humor, and it brings a smile to my face recalling some hilarious stories :-). 

Patti was a shining light, always greeting everyone with a hug and a smile.  My heart breaks for Deb, David and family, and I pray for comfort and peace for all of you.  Heaven gained a smiling angel.

With love and sympathy... Tam

Mrs. Patti holds a special place in my heart.  When I first started at Murata, she was so welcoming and sweet to me.  She was one of the kindest women I had ever met.  Though I worked in a different office, we would always check in on one another ever so often.  She brought me so much joy to talk with and be around.  I'll never forget all the laughs we shared.  Mrs. Patti, you will truly be missed. 

Deb, my heart goes out to you and your family.  I will be keeping you all in my prayers.   

Dear Sweet Patti Melt,  

We are all very sad by your departure.   You always stood out of all people by your BIG heart, those of us who got to know you were very, very lucky for having you in our lives.  You will deeply be missed my friend, my pal. May you rest in peace. 

We are all so sad and heart broken.   Patti was a lovely, special person.
My prayers are with you.

Patti was the most thoughtful and caring person I have worked with at Murata, and perhaps in my life. She would do anything  she could to help in any situation, and she always put others before herself. I'll miss talking with her, and I'll miss giving her updates about my kids and sending pictures showing how they're growing up. I hope she is resting in peace, and I will always keep her in my thoughts and prayers.

Patti was a warm and lovely spirit.  When I joined Murata, she immediately greeted me with her wonderful smile and joyful conversation.  Throughout the years, when we would see each other, she always asked how I was doing  and my family while wishing us the best.  Her kindness will forever be etched in my heart and memory.  She was a lady with a huge and endearing presence!

Words always seem to be inadequate during a time like this, but to Patti's family, I extend my heartfelt condolences.  She is no longer on earth with you, but will always live  in your hearts.  

Dear Sweet Patti,

Heaven is shining brighter now that you are there! You were such a beautiful soul that smiled and loved everyone. I am a better person because of you. Whispering to me to always love, bless and release all the things to God.  I still have the prayer you gave me to hang up.  You made me laugh so much, so so much.  I can hear you saying, "Good morning Sunshine!" "Hey Princess!" And always saying "I love you!" when we parted. Of all the things you gave me, my favorite was you, a beautiful friend who could always make me smile. I will always remember your beautiful smile! I'm praying for your family.  Much love for you all!

Dear sweet Patti,
It is so hard to grasp that you aren’t here. I’m really struggling with it. The love that you had for our family was endless. I always looked up to you from a very young age. Patti you were the kindest soul our Lord has ever created. The only comfort for me is knowing you are with our loved ones. Dancing ,laughing and sharing stories. You will be missed more than ever and will never be forgotten. The Lord brought you home and now your our angel. Fly high Patti we will be together again. Love you with all my heart. Love your cousin Kimlee 

Patti was such a sweet soul...always positive, always willing to help, always thinking of others first.  I looked back thru some old emails just to remind myself of the kind words of encouragement she always had for me as she helped me learn the ropes at Murata.   I only met her in person once last fall, but instantly went in for a hug.. she just made you feel that way.  RIP, Patti.  You will surely be missed!

I will truly miss my sweet friend everyday. I will hold dear all the laughter and fun memories we shared over the years. Prayers for  Patti's family and I am so sorry for your loss. A special prayer for David and Deb. I could hear in her voice how much she loved you both.

You were my very first friend in Murata US, Pati! You showed me the ways of a Sales Planner 😎. You were so kind!! Such a true and honest and lovely person! I will never forget you! Rest in peace Pati!!! As I used to say to you... I send you lots of mexican hugs and kisses!!!! Until we meet again!! ❤️🙏

My heart is breaking at the passing of Patti. She was so sweet and always had a smile on her face. We will all miss her.
