Thank you Patti for your many years of devotion to the wellbeing of children and especially to Arkansas Children’s Hospital mandate to provide the best care possible.
I had the pleasure to meet Patti on Facebook through our mutual interest in playing the games. Although I have never met her in person, she was the sweetest and kindest person to have known. She has listened "seen thru chat" to my troubles and offered useful advice. I will truly miss her being on Facebook and talking with her. She was an angel here on earth and will be a great asset to the Lord.
I love you and miss you Patti!
