My heart is just broken. Too many memories. Patty was an amazing person who could cook just as amazing. She always had a smile on her face. I know my parents were very happy to see her but her family will miss her terribly.
May your enjoy eternal happiness with those who have gone before you. I will miss your warm, loving smile and sense of humor. I will miss you calling me a witch and then laughing. Thank you for so many family memories and always opening up your home to me and my family. I will think of you often and miss you always.
Our sincere condolences to the DeCusati Family.
