Even though Round 3 ended for Patty on June 1,2009, I wanted to add a posting to her. (Catholic Heaven has ultra broadband wireless universal internet access). I miss you Patty,
My caregiver wife, who reads some posts, was touched by your stories about "furkids" and your sister and your extended family here on OCF. You were and remain inspirational, Who else would have such an effect on everybody that a dire announcement of a inooperable recurrence would trigger such diverse responses. All of them comforting not only to you, but to others "dealt the hard hand" of cancer coming back,

Awe man I feel so terrible. She was my buddy. I just had a message from her and she told me she was just going to be outside with her dogs in the sun when she got strong enough. Damn it all, too bal we have no idea when will be. For some reason, I just had to go in the woods behind my house this morning and then to a stream I have that runs thru it. I must have taken that walk for Patty because I had no reason to got. Sure gonna miss you Patty and be lonesome. Let them see how special you are in heaven and let them know how much you were loved on earth by people like me. Sitting here with tears in my eyes. JUst to exchange one more email. can't see so I better get out of here,, Patty these tears are for the laughs we had.. Farewell until I meet you there when I hit that 100 we talked about..../.

I also want to thank you for the link to the funeral home. I posted a message and it was really nice to see a picture of Patty. I will miss her positive support and cheerful attitude, but am very grateful to God that she is no longer in pain. What a shame.
