My sincerest condolences to her husband, John and the Rickey family. I have such great memories of growing up with Patti on the old east side of Madison. We were neighbors and she always had a great sense of humor and was such a great storyteller! Her passing makes me sad, but she's at peace now and no longer suffering. I'm so sorry I'll miss the funeral. Rest in peace, Patti. You will be missed.
