I will always remember hearing our grandparents (your parents) refer to you as Patty Cake, and that is what we knew you by for years. You will be missed, but someday we will all be back together. Love you.
\nKen and Cindy Thurston<\/p>\n
Dear little sister, I will miss you but I will see you later. I love you Patty Cake.
\nMary Fitzgerald<\/p>\n
She was a very precious woman! Rarely walked in Lawson Assembly without seeing that sweet smile first thing! Us Hoffecker\u2019s loved her very much!
\nI\u2019m so sorry I missed her funeral:\/ I hadn\u2019t heard of her passing until to late.
\nWe will keep your family in our prayers! Praying God fills that very big void in your hearts!
\nValerie Hoffecker<\/p>\n
We are so sorry we missed the services but we were unexpectedly put under quarantine. We loved Patsy. She was always such a ray of sunshine and so much fun.
\nLove,
\nMarvin and Jackie<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
