I hope this is not true but I heard that Patty passed away on the 5th of September.

If it is the same Patty we have lost a dear friend.

I just checked with a friend of hers and it is our Patty and it is true. I am posting this with a heavy heart.

Patty was very supportive of me while my husband was overseas and always sent me uplifting and funny email to cheer me up.

I know I am not alone when I say we will miss her.

RIP Patty :giveflowersnana:

I will miss You Patty, sleep in Peace.

I had no idea and we are friends on Facebook too.

What a great friend she was to me over the years.

Rest in peace Patty, I'll miss you a bunch.

Just saw this on Facebook. Very sad, indeed. Does anyone know if she'd been sick or was this sudden? My prayers are with her family.

I messaged her mother? old friend? on FB and offered to post any message she or Mike might want to share with us.

This is a true shocker. Seems like it's always the exceptional folks here who we lose. May her memory be a blessing.

This came as quite a shock when I heard it this morning. I'm still feeling that way. Here's me , Patty and Mike from almost exactly a year ago when they stopped by on their way home from Vermont.

OMG I am so sad, I was going to shoot her an email today because I had not heard from her in a bit, she was a good friend and even though we never met, she was the best. I am shocked. She helpedme with lots of growing and encouraged me along the way, with both the bananas and citrus.

Wow, this is a sad surprise. She was a friend and a source of motivation, crazier than even me in growing things such as bananas and pitaya in the cold climate of Wisconsin. She was very generous and a fun person to read e-mails and posts from and will be missed. I pray that she is some place even nicer!

Will miss our good friend Patty...
had been encouraging her on FB to keep on top of those Dr's. app't's & take care of herself.
She was a beautiful soul.

You were loved by many & be sorely missed Patty. Rest In Peace...

When I get skwiffee, my peeks get chink :):):)

My home made wines would knock you all on your butts hee hee.

This is how I will remember Patty and tonight I will drink a toast to her.

How ironic last night I was reading in the past and came upon this post by Patty from 2009. She went on to say some of her wines are 18% alcohol. After reading this I ventured over to the citrus forum and found the post saying she was no longer with us. With extreme sadness and aching heart I returned here to post hoping that it was not our Patty.

I would have dearly loved to have had the opportunity to meet her in person to taste her wines and see her tropical plants growing were they had no reason to exist. Impossible was not in her vocabulary when it came to Zone Bending. Her tales of rogue animals attacking her garden always brought a smile to my face. It seems so unfair that she will no longer brighten my day.

My prayers are with the family and her friends.

Goodbye Patty. Never forgotten! Dearly missed!

This is from Patty's mom.

Memorial for Patty was held Sunday at the home of her fiance, Mike. It was a beautiful celebration of her life. Her garden was more beautiful and lush this year than it has ever been, and the apple tree that she has three varieties grafted, is full of fruit. She will live on in her garden...I have many of her plants that she shared with me. I was fortunate enough to have a trip with her a few years ago to a Citrus Conference in Virginia Beach. Thank you to all who shared her love of nature, and who loved her gentle spirit. Her banana 'pup' will be cared for by Mike, I am sure, and it will probably surpass the last one. Keep her in your hearts and memories. She is not gone....just in another place.

Wow ! How sad. I have been missing Patty posting. I noticed that she was not posting. Patty was so nice to me. When I was in the hospital she sent me messagges and cards. She kept my address from the postcard thread we use to do. She was a very kind lady. I miss her very much. So sad.

I'm in shock to hear this awful news. Patty was such a sweet and nice lady, and invited me to her house when I was going to be visiting Milwaukee, although we never managed to get together. She always had such a great love for plants, and joking around. I'll miss her kind comments to everyone, and her email jokes.
Such terrible news! My heart goes out to her family and fiance Mike.

So glad we all had a chance to get to know her. I'm sure gonna miss her posts.

Makes having her prize Roger Meyer Dragonfruit even more special. Thanks, Patty. ;)

This is a Little Prince I traded with Patty a few years back I have re named it "Little Princess Patty" in her hornor.. as you can see there is a pup.. any one wanting to claim the pup for cost of shipping or maybe a trade ;) just pm me.. I think it will look lots better when I get it out from under momma's shadow.. I'd love to share this special Nanner pup and hope to give it a home that will love it as much as I do and know how special it is.. ;)

I've made a resolution "no more bananas!", otherwise I'd take you up on that. I've got about 25 varieties as it is and hope to have a good freeze that wipes out most of them since I don't seem to be able to show much discipline on my own. My jungle looks pretty cool right now but will get ugly soon enough when Jack Frost visits.
