Steve and Family, As a former high school classmate of Steve's I recently learned of Patti's passing. I am so sorry for your loss. With deepest sympathy.

TRACY AND SUSAN SO VERY SAD TO HEAR OF PATTI'S PASSING. SUCH GOOD MEMORIES AND GOOD TIMES SPENT WITH HER. I WAS LOOKING FOR HER INFO TO CONTACT HER JUST TO SAY HI AND CATCH UP AFTER SO MANY YEARS . SHE WAS THE BEST ROGER SCOTT rscott_sonotemps@sbcglobal.net

Oh, the times we had when we were kids. Patti and I have known each other since pre-school age because our mothers were friends. We did everything together all the way through high school and only parted ways when we chose different universities and different states/cities to begin our careers. But, I will never forget those high school memories or my "second" home - the Hill Family Residence. With three daughters so close in age, the Hill Home was the place to be. Oh, Patti, your bright light will be missed by everyone.

I am so sorry to learn of Patti's passing. She fought hard. She was always very kind to me and a great nurse! Praying for peace for all who loved her so.

So sorry for your loss, thoughts and prayers for your family.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

In memory of Patricia "Patti" Gay Garretson, Jamie Gregorio (Gahm) lit a candle

Dear Steve & Family, Words really can’t express how saddened about Patti’s passing. Patti will be missed by all who knew her. We’re Praying for God’s comfort at this most difficult time. Patti’s walking the Streets of Gold in Heaven & suffering no more. Sending our love to all of you. Helen & Jerry Childress

Thoughts and Prayers for the Family and Friends of Patti.

We Love you

Patti was a wonderful spirit!! Always smiling and funny to be around. She could always make you smile. She was a great nurse and educator. She will be dearly missed. I send peace and prayers to all her family. God bless?

Heaven has gained an angel. Thank you Patti, for you treasured friendship and wonderful memories. You will be dearly missed.

Patti will be missed by many! So many fun and happy memories.

Patti leaves a great void in so many lives. She loved her family so much, Patti was a dynamic person full of love and compassion. I'm lucky to have counted her as a friend. I will miss her humor. Love and prayers to Patti's family and friends. May God wrap his comforting arms around you.

That's odd, I could have sworn she had another daughter. Despite their differences, she was still her mom. And her other daughter, well...I can imagine she was already pretty upset about losing her mom before getting the chance to say "I'm sorry for everything and I wish we had the chance to make things better somehow" I'm pretty positive seeing this wouldn't help her any. I can't imagine the pain she must be feeling right now. Oh wait, yes I can because that's me. Mom, I am sorry we were so different and could never seem to see eye to eye on anything, keeping the peace with you when we still talked was a daily battle for me and I'm sure it was for you too. But despite everything, you were still my mother...the person who raised me and provided for me. I never would have thought that when you died I would be sitting alone crying instead of surrounded by family and loved ones. Abandoned by my bio mom ☑️ Abandoned by my adoptive mom ☑️ I am going to go back to my state of shock now, thank you to whoever wrote this for reminding me of how loved I really was.

You will forever be missed!
