I just heard about Patti today when I was at a salon in White Bear. I use to cut Patti's hair at Danabri. She was always such a sweetheart. I am saddened to hear about her sudden death. It's been over 12 years since I last cut her hair but I remember her very well. She had taken me back to her house that she was selling because I always wanted to see it. We went over my lunch hour. She was a very humble person and I always enjoyed cutting her hair. Just wanted to share. Hugs and prayers to all her family. I lost my mom suddenly at 70 so I truly know what you're going through. Sincerely, Becki

Neal and family,
I've had Patti's obit on my desk every day to convince me she's really gone from us.  What a great Lady she was.  Always with a smile and a kind word.
She was a rock of strength and encouragement during our early days of struggle starting Press On.  It was nice to visit with Patti's family at the White Bear Lake Celebration.  You all showed tremendous strength and I know you will carry on Patti's legacy proudly.  God Bless.

I am deeply saddened to hear of Patti's passing. My heartfelt prayers are with your entire family. May God be with you all.

We are so sorry to hear about Patti's passing. We remember some fun times with Patti, Neal and Bobby back in the fun days of Press On, Inc. Our prayers are with your family.

Dear Neal and family, 
We are so very sorry to hear about Patti. We will always remember her caring and giving ways. We have fond memories of Patti and your family as our neighbors in Stillwater. You have our sympathy.

Neal and family, we loved Patti too.  We mourne with you.  She was a great friend, teammate, and trusted confidante,  She made whatever we did together fun.  Patti never had a bad word to say about anyone. Above all, she loved you all.  Neal, we look forward to seeing you when we return from Palm Springs with Bill and Bobbie. 

                                             Roz and Rob Robson, Sun Lakes, Arizona

One of my favorite things that Patti taught me was that sometimes when out for dinner, it is a good idea to order dessert first and wait and see you have room for an entree.  We'll miss you Patti!

I am so Sorry for the loss of your mom jenn.. you and your family will be in my thoughts my prayers..

I always looked forward too seeing my great aunt Patti at family functions, she made a point too talk too everyone and find out what was new. She will be greatly missed. I imagine her and my nana Val are having a cup of coffee together and catching up on old times.

I met Patti on a tennis court and our last conversation was about tennis and old movies.  Her greatest tennis weapon was a wicked slice, but she was gracious enough to teach me how to play against the shot.  Patti was perpetual motion, love, modesty, loyalty and full of devoted prayers and big hugs.  Bill and I shared travel, meals and lots of laughs with Pattie and Neal.  We will miss her and remember her always.

What a great mom you are.  I'm still asking you advice in my dreams.  It might get bad if I start arguing with myself.  Thank you for all the talks, debates, trips like Georgia and Yellowstone, and all the love.  I miss you every day.  Love Shelley
