I am truly sorry for the loss of Patricia, please accept my deepest sympathy. During difficult times like these, the Bible gives us comfort and a hope found at Revelation 21:4 which speaks of a time when death, pain and mourning will be no more. I pray that this message brings much comfort in the days ahead.

Paddie's family,
I had the best childhood thanks to Paddie. We had it pretty good growing up in Panama. We were inseparable. I still feel the bond we shared. I loved watching her family grow and flourish. I will miss her forever. I pray her family stays strong. With heartfelt emotions I send this condolence. Love, Cindy

Dear Dolly, Donald, Pam, David, Greg, Traci, Brooke, Carly, Keaton, Julie, Mark:
It is unimaginable, the pain and suffering you must be going through. My heart just sank when I heard the news. Dolly, I wish I was with you right now, hugging you. I love you Paddie. God only knows what you went through. God love you.
Paddie and I were best friends in Junior-High when we lived on a military base in Germany. Our moms were best friends too. Dolly was like a 2nd mom to me. When Paddie and I moved back to Maryland we kept in touch. Although our visits became sparse, our special friendship remained.
Paddie was an excellent mother. She provided love, discipline, and fun. She took her children on many car trips. She carried a painful hardship that medical science has not mastered, and yet, raised 4+ wonderful and smart children, held a professional job, and remained a kind, fun, sensitive, and loving person. In her condition, this must have taken all the inner strength she had. She is awesome! I love you Paddie.

I met Paddie In Germany in the 70's, she and my sister were best friends. Our families remained close then and when we all moved back to the Silver Spring Md area. I have many fond memories of Paddie in Germany, Aspen Hill and most recently on FB and I will cherish them all. We were so blessed to know her and her family.

During the most formative time of life....my early teens, I met Paddie. We were military kids living in Bremerhaven, Germany. She taught me most of what I still use to get through life: trust, honesty, love, laughter. She and Rachel and I were up to such healthy mischief and wholesome fun in those days. Thanks to Facebook we reconnected years ago. She has been a hilariously sharp opponent in Words with Friends. I'm cherishing all my memories right now, and grieving with her family during this sad time. Blessings and healing.

Its hard to find words to express what's in my heart, it just overflows with so so many emotions.
May you hold those special hidden memories, that you each have, close to your heart.
Your daughter, your wife, your mother, my friend, loved you all so very much! She struggled for so long and chose to let go, but now she rests. May the comfort of God's arms be around you all.
I Love you Paddie
