Patti was one of the best. I’m going to miss her and all the fun we had on our travels. We got along so well and had so many laughs sometime we would be in tears. She always said “you make me laugh” but in reality she made me laugh. Patti brought me closer to Jesus with all her wisdom and faith. I praise
God for bring her in my life and allowing us to be BEST friends. May she rest in peace with our Lord and Savior and save a place for me so we can laugh and pray together again. Can you imagine?
Patti, I just found out today almost 2 years since you’re passing that you’ve gone to be with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I am so grateful that our Lord brought both you and pastor Nate into my life years ago! You are such a blessing to me over the years and a dear friend and I will miss you greatly!! Love in Christ Jesus, Cathy Indermuehle
