I was so sorry to learn of Patti's passing. I worked with Patti at LifeServe and she was one of the best nurses I ever worked with. She was hard working, compassionate and professional. She was always cheerful and a real joy to know and work with. Our lives are better for having known her

Oh sweet Patti...my heart is heavy for all the suffering you had to endure. You were the very best boss I ever had and I will cherish all that you taught me, your compassion, the laughter we shared, and your generosity. I remember the times we sat in church together and my soul smiles. I pray that you are resting in God's arms in perfect peace.

Dearest Patti...I don't even know where to begin. My heart is absolutely broken. I will forever remember your sweet, smiling face greeting me each day that we worked together. You were a true inspiration to me and because of you and your guidance, I am the person I am today at LifeServe. You laughed with me and also listened to me when I needed a friend. You will be missed immensely and I thank you for always being you. Rest in peace my dear friend.
