Bob,Kevin,Jen,
I am so sorry to hear of Patty’s passing. I will always think of her kind smile and wonderful laugh. It seems way too soon for her to be gone. Perhaps she and my mom will share laughs with each other in heaven!
We are so sorry for your loss. We at Meijer will miss her. Prayers for your family.
