I met Patti in 2004 when I moved to Helena. We became fast friends and shared so many fun and happy times. Holiday dinners and girls night at my house. Even when I moved back to Spokane, we stayed very close. I loved our visits when I traveled to see Patti. We had many face time conversations because we both agreed just hear each other’s voices just wasn’t going to cut it!! I will. forever miss my sweet friend and sister!! I love you Patti! :gift_heart::gift_heart:

I had recently talked to her two days before her passing for a good 20 min before dinner. We had chatted how I would grab Tammy and come down and see her that weekend. Drove down Sunday to see her and spent 30 min finding exactly where she was being treated and found Big Sky. Attempted to call several times before Roy answered the phone informing us of her passing 🙁
Of course being in total shock there was nothing we could do. I am just thankful we made it down to see her or else we would have never known.
Patti and friend Tony spent their Thanksgiving with us on more than one occasion and was a wonderful person as a whole.
I am glad to know she is in a better place and was thankful to have met her and been a friend for several yrs.
God Bless 🙂

Our heartfelt prayers are with Patti’s family at this time. I met her years ago when she was with Roy in State Street/Rodney neighborhood. May the memories you have with her help you through this tough time. She was a very caring person and enjoyed friends and family. Take care
