To the Lakinger family,
Patty was a dear work friend of mine. We worked the Saturday shift together. She was a very kind funny person and we always had a good time together. She will be missed by all that knew her.

To all the Lakingers, Tom and I are so sorry about the death of Patsy. You know that we would be there with you if it was not for Tom's so recent surgery. It is hard to believe that she could be gone. It is such a surprise to us. Please know that all of you are in our thoughts and prayers. I know your family will not be the same without her but you have some great memories. A reassuring thought is " To live in the hearts of others is not to die" Love, Tom and Joan Harvey

Wow, I can't believe it. I just talked to you a month ago and we laughed, as always. You are a great friend and I will miss our long talks. Thank you for being in my life for these 18 years or so I will never forget you.

Aunt Pat,

My fondest memories of you as a child were being able to play with your cats (because I knew that my dad didn't like them at all), mess around on your computer and drink welch's grape juice in a little can. I also remember how the littlest things would bring you happiness and how animated you got when you told a story. You will be missed.

With Love,
Michelle
