Billy:
My heartfelt sympathies go out to you and your family at this time. Whenever I think of Patty – I always find myself with a smile on my face. She was always a pleasure to be around and such a giving and fun person. Many fond memories come to mind of summer days at the pool when Laurie would bring me and Ron to swim and hang-out. My most favorite and cherished time with Patty was playing her “cabana-boy” on Santa Cruz beach in CA when she visited Laurie one year while I was out there as well. Patty will always be loved and remembered dearly for the truly warm and welcoming person she was to so many people. Your long life together is a testament to what a partnership and marriage is all about. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

My sincere condolences to Bill Sr., Billy, and all of Pat’s family and friends. She was like a second Mom to me for many years, and whether it was too many motorcycles in the driveway or parties when we thought, incorrectly, that Pat and Bill Sr. were out of town, she remained one of the nicest persons I’ve ever known. I’ll miss her.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this sad time.
Blessings,

Greenfield Street, Baldwin Terrace,Lalley Bvd, Lindley Drive,Tahmore Place, and South Palm Beach are places to remember. Pat added her TOUCH to each of those homes. Her love for her husband, son, parents, brothers, their wives, nieces and nephews, daughter in law and grandchildren are part of the family that loved her and enjoyed knowing her. They were able to enjoy the spirit and gentle ways that Pat exhibited to all. Her many acquaintances will miss her time spent with them. Silverman’s Farms was a place she thought of as home, and along with the many friends she gathered in all walks of life, we pray for her place in Heaven. That legacy is not to be diminished. Bless you Pat in the new life you are about to enjoy. Barbara Leffert
