Sorry to hear that Patty is now in Hospice Care. She has indeed fought a long and hard battle. She will be missed as she was an invaluable source of support to women on this board. My prayers are with you and your family.

I read Patty's posts for many years & she is a such a special lady. She always offered her wonderful advice and would be one of the first ones to respond if anyone had a question or wanted to share joy. The grace that we can know now is her physical pain is gone in this coma and she can sleep peacefully. I know that she is much loved and will be missed by all of us. She is in my prayers and thoughts as you are.
