Dear Greg, Alexa & Jeff,
I too will miss Patti deeply. Given that we were geographically distant,  we didn't get to see each other often. But when we did get to see each other, it felt like little time had passed.  We talked about our mothers (sisters Horty & Georgie), our families and of course politics.
And I'm sure many of us remember remember seeing Patti on Wheel of Fortune, winning $77,000 in cash and prizes and overwhelming Pat Sajak with her enthusiasm.
In time I hope that our happy memories of Patti will outweigh our current sadness.
With sadness and love, 
Liz Karger Feldman 
First cousin to Jeff and Patti
