The Patty Flare

My aunt Patty taught me much about “you can do it“! Make it special. Make it yours. Take care of what you have. Take care of others. I always going to my Grandparents place after school. I would see the kind of projects Patty would be working on. Whether in the garden with T, quilting or restoring antique furniture. In this photo, you see me and a gigantic antique armoire/hutch I helped work on. When I say helped, I mean hand her stuff and run a sander. There was a lot that of ways she instructed me but it was in the time she spent instructing that I learned to teach others. I spent time with her watching her cook and helping in my little ways, I learned how to cook but I also learned how to cook for the care of others. There are many things left behind from Patty. Gifted quilts to be kept warm by, antique furniture to admire or Jewelry to accent with. We are left with precious memories of the past and something even more precious - a hope for the future. My Patty Ann will give us all hugs, cook wonderful meals and work on projects for a world dedicated to Jehovah and his righteous standards.
