I was blessed to work with Patty for several years at FRMC in the Wound Healing Center. What a precious soul. Just today I read the Prayer of St. Francis and thought of her. She was an instrument of peace and grace to all who met her.
"Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace,
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
Where there is sadness, joy.
Oh Divine Master, grant me that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console,
To be understood as to understand,
To be loved as to love;
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
It is in dying to self that we are born to eternal life."
Patty, enjoy that sweet, sweet reward in heaven. We will miss you deeply.
