It is with my deepest regret that I will not be able to be at Patti's service. Sandi and I have driven to Florida and rented a home here.
Patti was patient, efficient, dedicated and deeply caring. I was so fortunate that she took on the challenge of my secretary. I didn't think that I was a hard-ass boss,but I sure had trouble keeping secretaries. Then there was Patti, great with the staff, great with the kids, and great at anticipating what we needed to get done to run the school. She had the patience of a saint and the positive approach to the job that made her successful and incredibly busy all the time. However she still volunteered to help me deal with the slew of e-mails that i would take time , way too much time to have to answer. My lack of typing skills was well known by the admin team and a source of amusement for many. Patti, with her strong sense of compassion, felt sorry for me and offered to help. That was Patti always looking to get things done more efficiently. I did have to turn down her offer, because it was my job and my fault that I never learned how to type. Her welcoming smile will be with me for the rest of my life and I am very grateful to have worked with and known this courageous , wonderful women. Godspeed, Patti
