  1. Dear Tom and Family,
    I am sad to hear about Patty’s passing. Much too young. I have many childhood memories of Patty. As her birth mother and my mother were best friends for years, Patty was always special to her and my dad. If it hadn’t been for Antoinette, my parents may have never met. I love the wedding picture of Martin and Antoinette where my parents were both in the wedding and yet it would be 5 years before they got together! Patty has such a sweet soul. She was always with a smile and a kind word. It meant the world to my mother that you and Patty came to her 80th birthday celebration. I remember your wedding well. Patty was so happy to being married to you she cried. We knew you were the one for her. I miss a lot being in Texas now, but I want you to know my heart and prayers are with you and your children, and of course, Kathy, Debbie and Jimmy.
