I've been away from the internet for a few days....the good part is that I could sit and read all the posts from people whose lives were touched by Patty...Nele, we're only as important in this lifetime as the number of people we touch in our lives...through this wonderful thing called the internet, we have been given an opportunity to reach out to many people we'd never have had the chance to cross paths with...Patty made good use of the opportunity and spread friendship & good far and wide...whether she was flaming you, or just chatting, she was always "class" all the way. I hope that in the days to come, these facts will help ease your pain...there are so many people joining you in your grief....don't hesitate to reach out if you need to (((HUGS))))
