I am sorry I took so long to do this. I used to work with Patti at World Vision. She had such a joy in her work, and in her voice, as she called caller after caller. Patti really felt she was called to the job, and I agreed with her. She was always smiling and positive. It was a joy to have known Patti - surely she is safe at home with Jesus now.##imported-begin##Pat Roberts##imported-end##
We will always remember Patti with great fondness. It was her love of the Lord that made her a joy to be with.
May the Lord bless her memory, and her witness live on in the people she touched.

I was blessed to work with Patty at World Vision for a few years. Her love for children and wanting to help others was so powerful. She has bleesed many lives all over the world by her love, compassion and patience. She touched many people lives on the phones as well as in our office. She has been deeply missed and will always be remembered.##imported-begin##Millie Vanderpool##imported-end##
Patty was such a beautiful person to have known. I was privileged to work with her at World Vision. I loved hearing her stories and her wisdom during lunch but most of all just being in her presence brought sunshine to us. I will always cherish the blanket she made for my son. My condolences to the family she loved so dearly.##imported-begin##Socorro Bravo##imported-end##
I am a co-worker of Patty's, although, I did not know her very well. She was highly respected in the call center here at World Vision, however, due to her skill as an outbound caller and her love for the children we serve. In one of the few conversations I had with her, she mentioned her husband was a descendant of Daniel Boone, which I thought was noteworthy. She was much loved among those who knew her here at World Vision.##imported-begin##Mark Joneschiet##imported-end##
What a joy to remember Patti! The memorial service was a real blessing and a great testimony for our Lord. Recently I've played a tape over and over again of Patti and I singing "Ivory Palaces" and "Wonderful, Wonderful Jesus". So many precious memories...##imported-begin##Betty Clement##imported-end##
What a lovely memorial! Patty was such a strong supporter of children and education. I am so glad I had the chance to work with her. I will miss her, but I am so excited about her new home. I pray that God comforts and guides all of you.##imported-begin##Glenda Clark##imported-end##
Wayne,
It was such a privilege to have known her all these years. I want you to know that when I visited her last week, she was very alert and we had a chance to talk about you and your daughters. She expressed how you and your children are her special blessings. She particularly found peace in that all of you have personnal relationship with Christ.
Wayne, you too are blessed to have Patti.
God bless you.
