Patricia was a beacon of light in a world filled with darkness. She reminded us that there are good people in the world that care and do more for others then they do for themselves. She will be greatly missed , but her light will forever shine in our hearts and in our memories. R.I.P. love Ulrick Prudent

You were so loving and caring. I remember times in our childhood watching The Micky Mouse Club after school till it was time for dinner. Yolanda would prepare artichokes and offered some to my sister and me. We played with kittens in my backyard. Simple times.
