My Sister Patty and I were more than Sisters.  She was my Best Friend, and always said I was like her Mother, as when she was little girl, I always had her hand leading her around everywhere I went.  When she was 13, I took her to Calif to live with me, she ended up marrying her first husband who was in the Navy and so was mine and when he'd go out to sea, she'd come and stay with me, children and all.  Her boys were like my kids and my kids were like hers.  We were so far away from WV and our family that we needed each other to be there for each other when we'd get homesick. When I was in Alaska, Panama and Saudi Arabia.  She could sense when something was wrong with me, and she'd call me, and the same with her,  I'd dream about her because I knew something was wrong.  and sure enough, there would be something going on with her.  But this time.  I didn't have a dream.  I got up sick, Vomiting all morning, and didn't know why and when I got the message about Patty. I knew why. it was a message about  her.

My Sweet loving sister is with the Lord now and with all of our family, and she's no longer sick, nor with anyone that's going to treat her bad any more.

Below is some of the latest pictures I got of her  at the Leckie, Anawalt, Pageton and Jenkinjoes and surrounding communities Reunion and Applebee's and at the Friday Night at The Gary High School Museum on 8/5/2011 If you have any pictures that you might like to add, send them to me. or anything that you might like to add, something of her grandkids has drawn or something special that she really liked.
