You will truly be missed you were a great mom,wife and grandmother.
Patty was a wonderful person. I learned so much from her. She was kind, generous and always willing to listen and help. I will never forget all the get-togethers at her and Bob’s home with their beautiful children and the campground nights by the fire. It was my pleasure to have known Patty in my life. I can still see her at the North Haven Fairgrounds and so excited for another event. She taught me a few recipes, tried to teach me how to crochet, and helped me be a better mom when I was so young and needed help. Our deepest sympathies to Bob and the family on the loss of Patty.
Our condolences to Bob and his family during this time. We’re sorry for your loss and will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.
Sending you all prayers during this difficult time!
Sending our deepest sympathy to Pat’s family….
Sincerely, The Richard A. Kordorsky.
