I am saddened to learn of Patti’s passing. I remember he fondly as a tireless advocate for animals. Her contributions to the animal welfare profession were many and I was among the many she mentored in my early years in the field.
We will miss you immensely
I have so many fond memories of Patti. She was such a mentor for me. I really enjoyed are many walks & talks when we both lived in Lakewood. She will truly be missed but not forgotten.

Oh, I’m taking back by what I’m reading there’s so many beautiful memories of Patti. When I worked at the APL she was there helping me grow up. She worked so hard and make me a lady. It was a serious job. She had it took a while, but it all kicked in. I hear her voice all the time And is very very tough right now to write Tammy. I love you and I will try my best to get there to hug you Patti meant the world to me.
