Jennifer Cotterman Relation to Deceased: Friend Patty was a true friend to me at a time when I really needed a friend. She was always there with an understanding ear, words of encouragment and a joke to make me smile. I had the privalege of working alongside her in the medical field and witnessed first hand the kindness and compassion she extended to her patients even if she wasn’t having the best of days herself. I love you and I will miss you “PP”.
Jan Casher Relation to Deceased: Friend I have very fond memories of your mom supporting you boys at Junior Bowling each Saturday. It seems she always had a smile on her face…and was always willing to encourage those around her…I am sure she is with your Grandpa, another wonderful person..supporting the children in heaven. She was a special lady who will surely be missed by all whose lives she touched along her journey! My thoughts and prayers are with your family! Those we love remain with us for love itself lives on, and cherished memories never fade because a loved one’s gone. Those we love can never be more than a thought apart, far as long as there is memory, they’ll live on in the heart.

Holly A Terra Relation to Deceased: Daughter (in-law) I have “known” Patty for almost 9 years, but I really got to know her this past year. When I was home with our twin boys I started to call her during the week- sometimes every day- and we talked about everything. Our house is busy these days and often she would hear crying in the back and offer to let me go- but I always said that I wanted to talk. I don’t know exactly why but I felt the need to connect more with her more now than ever. If I could do it over, I would have started our calls a lot longer ago but I am so thankful for these calls. One of the biggest compliments my husband ever gave me was when he told me that I was a lot like his mom. I didn’t realize it at the time (he was comparing some random quirk she had) but we were alike in many ways. The butterfly emerges from its silken shell- Reborn, it arises, no longer bound to earth.

One of the biggest compliments my husband ever gave me was when he told me that I was a lot like his mom. I didn’t realize it at the time (he was comparing some random quirk she had) but we were alike in many ways. As I got older, i started to become more sappy and never wanted to her buy the kids toys or anything that would be donated one day or given away. She was thrilled with this idea and we would often discuss the perfect gifts for the kids. She gave Frankie her first glass tea set, the diamond earrings that she wears every day, all of her Easter dresses, A Lenox Christmas ornament & Holiday Barbie every year and most importantly, her very own pink blanket from when she was a little girl along with a special note. She was Frankie’s Chicken Patty and even when Frankie was mad at the world, she loved her Chicken Patty. Vincent and Angelo were blessed that they had 7 months with her. I wish that they had the time to get to know her the way that Frankie and Doug did, but I am thankful that she got to meet them and hold them. They also got gifts that were meant to be treasured and they both have a soft white blanket with their names, baby books and their Christmas Stockings – something that they will always have. When Mom asked me what to buy the boys for Christmas the only request that I had was their Lenox ornament’s for Baby’s First Christmas. I knew that our time with her was limited and I just wanted to the boys to have their ornament from their Grandma too. For weeks no one knew where the box was and I was so worried. I became obsessed with tracking down the Lenox order. I was afraid it would become lost in the mail and i NEEDED the exact ones that she ordered. It looked like the ornaments were shipped and should have been to her. After mom passed away, Ronny and Robby stopped at her apartment and Robby said that he looked up the stairs and saw a faint light with a box in front of the door. It was the ornaments for the boys. I opened them only two hours after she had passed away and they were there and they were perfect. Uncle Vinny said that she gives new meaning to “Shop Till You Drop.” Needless to say, they will be treasured. Patty had a ceramic Christmas tree in her apartment and last week I told her that if she ever decided to put up a real tree again, I wanted her ceramic tree. She sounded like I had just told her that she won the lottery. She said that it made her so happy to know that I wanted that tree. Last Sunday we took the kids to the apartment and spend a few hours with her. We created a family tree and she gave me her recipe book. I had asked her for one a few months ago because all of her recipes were in the form of lists. Just a list of the ingredients that were needed to make something with absolutely no measurements or directions. I told her that I would love her favorite family recipes WITH directions and amounts. On Sunday she showed me the book that she had started for me. Every recipe was written in her beautiful handwriting. We talked about the dishes and where they came from and the ones that were her favorites. I am so thankful that she took the time to do that for me. We spent about a half hour together on new year’s even going over the perfect way to make clams casino- her famous recipe. I asked a ton of questions and took a ton of notes and I am so glad I did. That was one of the recipes that was still in list form. Ronny held her hand, and although she told him that she didn’t want to, I saw her face light up as she held his hand in hers. I can still hear her laugh as Ronny leaned over and gave her about 20 kisses on Christmas Day. At first she tried to protest (RON! YOU ARE MESSING MY HAIR!) but the protest turned into a sweet giggle. I smiled at Ronny and knew that he would not forget that. As I looked through pictures for her memory board last night, I was filled with so many emotions. Sadness for her loss, happiness for the idea that she was no longer in pain or cold, mad that my husband had to lose his mom at such a young age and just disbelief that this is all really happening. I was never Daughter-in-law of the year. I didn’t always feel this way about her. Sometimes I was frustrated or distant or “talked” to her rather than really had a deep conversation. I don’t want to pretend that the stories above solely defined our relationship. I wish they did. I would like to think that the end of our relationship is the way she will remember me from Heaven. In the end we got to knew each other and realized how much we had in common. We enjoyed our talks, shared stores and she became my mom and not just my husband’s mom. I told her that I would try the mayonnaise cake even thought the thought of a cake with mayonnaise has always made me a little nervous. The last time I talked to my Mother-in-law, she was in her hospital bed getting ready to go meet Jesus. I sat alone with her in the room and promised to never stop talking about her to her grand kids, to keep buying Hess Trucks and Holiday Barbies every year and to make sure that her hair was colored for the wake and that she had some Estee Lauder lipstick on. I kissed her head and told her that she was on her way to heaven and she would be so happy and at peace. There is no doubt in my mind that she is happy and at peace…. and having a coffee over breakfast with an angel. As we look back over time We find ourselves wondering ….. Did we remember to thank you enough For all you have done for us? For all the times you were by our sides To help and support us ….. To celebrate our successes To understand our problems And accept our defeats? Or for teaching us by your example, The value of hard work, good judgement, Courage and integrity? We wonder if we ever thanked you For the sacrifices you made. To let us have the very best? And for the simple things Like laughter, smiles and times we shared? If we have forgotten to show our Gratitude enough for all the things you did, We’re thanking you now. And we are hoping you knew all along, How much you meant to us.
