My condolences to Patty's family. I knew Patty for over 20 years and spent many holidays with her and her family at her house and at her parents house. We always had good times and great dinners. What I will remember most about Patty was her passion for life and for her family. Her family was her life and she would do anything for them. Reat in peace Patty.

Patty What can I say about Patty? If I were to tell you everything it would take the whole night. So I will be short and crisp. It's raining outside. They say rain is grace. Rain is the sky descending to the earth. Without rain there won't be no life. We would not be here. To me Patti is gracefully leaving us and planting amidst us the ability to continue with our lives. . Even though we are sad now Patti reminds us that her life has been fulfilled and we now have to fulfill ours. That is my opinion. When I met Cindy as a young man it was always at the back of your mind how her parents would receive and perceive me. Especially if you are serious that 1st meeting weighs on you heavily. But when I met with the Tolmies, Patty put all my worries to rest. She was so nice and wholesome. She accepted me for me. They did. That's huge. As a 1st generation immigrant once you're accepted it's easier to grow. Then we started having kids …the uncertainty that evolves around that and the anxieties, the burdens, the ups and downs. Patti was awesome with them. The relationship she had with all of them was heavenly. She did everything she could to help them grow and prosper upto now I have well balanced adults. Patty had a huge influence in each and every one of them. The conversations they shared, the time they had watching movies/TV shows…I couldn't do it…we couldn't because we had to work to support our lives. Patty attended almost all their events up until she couldn't because of her health issues. The relationship she had with them influenced me to also cultivate one with each one of them that goes beyond what my traditional Luo custom required. I read books with them , my dad never did. I became a better person as far as parenting from watching Patti relate to my children. We also butted heads from time to time. We both are scorpions. If you know anything about horoscopes, scorpions have a unique way of relating with the outside world. One way is saying what we mean and meaning what we say regardless of the consequences. I remember once me and Patti got into it because she liked caring for the kids even though they could walk on their own. I just mentioned it to Cindy and she didn't like that. Obviously Coming from another culture this was unconscionable. But I understood where she came from and accepted it. She also saw my point. We moved on. We lost a mother, a grandmother, a nurturer, a confidant…most of all heaven gained an angel. And she will be watching over all of us.

grandma was such a bright and beautiful person. she was so loyal and committed to her family, and i just cannot believe she’s now gone. my earliest memory of her was going downstairs at about 2/3, going to her bed and climbing in with her, or bringing her these bright red socks and asking her to help me put them on because i couldn’t put them on myself. she always paid attention. she knew what phases i was in, and what i was liking at the time, so much so that she sent me every article/picture/facebook post that mentioned what i was into. she loved vintage, and i liked it too. i loved breakfast at tiffany’s at one point, and from then on she would tell me everytime an audrey hepburn movie was on TV so i could watch it. i wish at the end i took more time to be with her. i wish i took time to text her and call her. i wish i was able to say goodbye, but i also know now what i need to do to make her proud up there watching over me. i love you grandma, so much.

Pat, There are so many memories that are coming back to me. Like when you took me for driving lessons in Black Rock when I was 16. I drove up onto the sidewalk! It was a miracle that nothing bad happened. Then there are all the happy Christmas eve memories when our family got together each year from when we were kids and into adulthood. I always looked forward to your ham salad and your cookies. You gave us the best gifts, so thoughtful and beautifully wrapped. You really took the time to go out of your way to select a perfect gift for each family member. You and I shared the same love of vintage collectibles, especially old cookie jars! I still have so many. Thank you for being my maid of honor at my wedding to Gerry. I cherish those memories. I can't believe you're gone. You will live on in my heart, until we meet again one day. Love, Janice “I am the resurrection and the life.[a] Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, " John 11:25

You were my sister for almost 68 years, I always thought of you as my second mother, which I think you were to all of us,,you were the oldest of the 5 of us, our family is getting smaller, as now you are with Dad and Steven and hopefully the other family members, I am sure you are whole again and suffer no more. We had so many laughs, so many stories, so many hours on the phone, years of memories, one of your favorite movies was on TCM yesteday, Sunday In New York,,,I know you will get why I mentioned this to you..Until we meet again, We are all praying for you. Love Pam
