I could write a book about Patricia and our lives together. In this case, several paragraphs will suffice.
When one speaks of others after they've left us in death, one tends to speak or write all things good.
Patty, like all of us had her own shortcomings, misunderstandings, and errors in judgement. However, the positive features of her personality and actions outweighed any misgivings about her. She could be surprisingly bold in her approach to a topic or circumstances, but her motive was one of love and a desire to help. Those who truly knew her, understood this about her. I learned so much from my sister... Her example of generosity to others was encouraging. Generosity in the following way: to give her time and energy to friends in the congregation that she felt needed a little extra attention, maybe hugs and tears, some soup, baked item, a corny joke or lighthearted ribbing, and rides for friends when she was able.
I say thanks to my sister for tolerating and loving me. I love you and look forward to seeing you in Jehovah's new world. T.ā¤š
