Frankie, Beverly and your Dad Billy, we were so sorry to hear about your Mom, wife. Growing up together on Friendly Lane, made it seem like we were family. I know you are going to miss her dearly, but she's in a better place than us now. What a happy reunion she has had, seeing her family! You all are in our thoughts and prayers, and we love y'all.

Prayers and sincere condolences to all the family most of whom I know and care about. We had so many fun times at the beach. Once “sister” and Billy took me out on their boat and it included lunch. Fond memories of many gatherings at Ann’s, Betty’s (“sister” - it was a long time before I knew her name.), and Tony’s mom’s home.

I want to send my condolences to the family. She will definitely be missed! I am so glad to have the honor to meet her and to be her caregiver. I'm really going to miss our conversations and making her and her husband my pancakes. She loved them! I'm going to miss you Betty but I know your no longer suffering. Sending my love and prayers to the family!

So many wonderful memories growing up with Aunt Patty (as my family called her) in them. I remember her beloved monkey, Bitsy- (lol); days at pool on Friendly Lane or on the sound at Aunt Betty/Uncle Frank’s or just visiting her at her house So many really good times. I will so miss her laugh! She was always so loving to us and so much fun to be around yet still was true to her sometimes feisty self. (It’s hereditary). I will always cherish these memories. She was one of my favs and always will be. I Love you, Aunt Patty- you RIP now. ♥️ Uncle Billy, Frankie, Bev and families: you’re all in my prayers and deep in my heart. She will be missed! She was one of a kind!
