So many years I worked with Patty. She was kind of like a mother to us at the Police Dept. being as she told us where to go (dispatched us to calls), checked on us to see if we were ok, we had to tell her what we did during the day (write reports). We joked with her a lot and she would often get us back. Patty, I'm sorry for messing with your Orange C's vitamins. We will miss her a lot, and my heartfelt condolences go out to her family. We all did a lot with Patty back in those days, work, parties, we we were a family.
