I am saddened to hear the news of Patty. Feared the worst when her last post was on the 22 May and the last email I sent her with cyber flowers on the 25th May went unanswered
As many others I will miss her and take consolation that she is now at peace.
I understand now why we call this a family as I feel like I have lost a sister.
