I have a lot of memories with Patty. Some of my favorites are her live for horses and tennis. Most of my memories are from when they lived in Crozet across from Mint Springs. Her horse Champ. Her running, going downtown Charlottesville with her. Staying with her some when she worked at Ronald McDo Alf House.strolling around UVA. Bought me my first Albion…..Hotel California. She was so artistic. I loved her her character Geoffrey the alligator. She taught me how to draw trees. And still one of my favorite things to draw. Our trip to Florida with Debbie and Doug. Going back to Indian Trace. Helping her redo her room on club road. Loved her very much.
I remember how patty loved art I use to enjoy going to there house and how she would let us draw and paint. I also remember how she noticed me looking at her national geographic magazines first boobs I ever saw she got me a years subscription lol.i remember her being the voice of reason telling Debbie are you sure they should be doing that but most of all she always showed love ❤ you will be missed dearly love you patty always
