We will forever see her legacy of loving grace in the faces and smiles of her children and grandchildren and feel her lasting warmth there. So much love to all who miss her. Patty, our shared conversations of her still ring in my ears like a sweet hymn to love everlasting and ever growing. Love you all,

Nick and I were lucky to have mom and dad just 2 hours away when our kids were growing up. Whether game night at our house, or a getaway to the beach, time spent with Grandma and Grandpa was always fun filled with laughter and hugs. I’ll cherish those memories always.
It feels impossible to think of a single memory when reminiscing on all the time we spent with Grandma. What I’ll remember most is her ability to make every person she meets feel special and cherished by her, and the quiet moments spent in each other’s company.
A few of my favorite moments in time:
-Playing solitaire in Grandma and Grandpa’s bedroom on our 3 computers
-Grandma sitting by our pool in Orlando watching me prune while I play for hours on end
-Christmas cookie decorating and enjoying her glorious cookie plate with multiple sweet delights
-Sitting in the living room while reading, with Grandma and Eli watching the Rays
-Eating breakfast quietly on their enclosed porch, consisting of toast, Cheerios with banana, orange juice and coffee
My mom was one of a kind. Humor, balanced with wisdom, love of music and joy, and always others before herself. Her legacy lives on in her family, who all share her commitment to living with love as our guide. Peace be with all who knew her and loved her.
