we may not fear love and we may not love fear i never got to speak a word to my aunt. I spent plenty of time around Patricia and we never had the ability to speak to one another. with that being said we never needed it. Patricia was a beautiful person who would fight to say the words “thank you sweetheart” to her sister as she took care of her. Patricia taught me a lesson although I did not immediately pick it up that will never be her fault. My aunt taught me a lesson – we may not fear love and we may not love fear. show your family love – Zachary Mansberger

Dave, Chad, & Darren. My heart goes out to you losing a wife & mother. As devastating as it is to have Patty depart from us, just remember how very blessed we were to have her in our lives. Having somebody of her great significance in our lives for not just a moment, but a lifetime, was the greatest gift given of all to our family and to anybody who ever knew Patty. Her collective qualities were as good as it gets, putting her far above all others. Far above is where she now will rest in peace. Forever Can Never Be Long Enough in The Kingdom of God! I Love You Sister Patty! – Dale Hixon. Elk Mountain,Pa.

Dave, Chad and Darren,
It was my “HONOR” to be Patty’s brother. Her very nice demeaner and caring compassion towards everyone  will help all family and friends cope and heal during these difficult times. Patty was a special present from “GOD” and now she is back in God’s hands as his newest special angel.
Patty, Thanks again for all the cherished lasting memories throughout the years.
Love always, Steve

Dave,
  I will never forget how you took care of Pat and always made sure she had the best care possible. During our talks, you  remimded me that family always comes first and I want you to know that you did everything you could to help her and she knew how much you loved her.       Marshall Kleckner

Very sad to read about the passing of this wonderful woman. I had Mrs. Baker for 2nd grade at East Petersburg Elementary in the 1970’s.  She was my favorite teacher of all time. I was thrilled when I learned I would have her again for 3rd grade! Mrs. Baker was not only my teacher but a very special friend and confidante. I will never forget her generosity, kindness or that aluminum Christmas tree she had in our classroom! I am a better person for having known her. My sincere condolences to her family.   D’Anne Morgan Nelson

She was such a kind and gentle person. I was in her 2nd grade class at East Pete Elementary in 1976-77. She is fondly remembered by all her students. – Deb (Trostle) Sawyers
