I am so sad to hear of Patty's passing. I have fond memories of her as I was growing up. She was like a grandmother to me. I spent many days over for coffee and conversation. She was always so warm and welcoming. So happy I got to see her recently while I was visiting the Bluffs. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

I am so sorry to hear of Patty's passing. I have such fond memories of family gatherings in Columbia. She was always so sweet to our family always asking about Bobbi and Aunt Margie. She will be missed by all that knew her.

I am so very saddened to learn of the news of Patty's death. There are nothing but fond memories of her mothering a gaggle of hungry college students who were always welcomed with a meal. My deepest sympathies to the Hardins.
