In Memory of Patti
That's always what she wanted to be called. Not Mom, which I would have been uncomfortable with given the relationship with my own mom, and NEVER Mrs. Streit - she was always Patti to all that knew her. Except for my kids of course who lovingly called her Grandma Pancake. She was such an accepting person and I felt at home with her the first time I ever met her.
She was so happy when Barry and I had kids - Zach was the first of her Grandchildren who loved to eat and Piper was her first granddaughter after five grandsons. She loved them all and was so proud of them and her four children.
I'll miss her humor, the way she said how gor...geous the kids were, and most of all the happiness she brought to all who knew her.
