Good Morning all. My name is Edward Shea I am Patty`s brother. Sadly it is true. All of your nice words have lifted my heart and Becca`s too. She will be missed. I will post details when we get to that point. Thank you all for the love for my sister.....Ed
I was happy to call Patty a friend. Patty will be missed. She was a a caring person who advocated for others. I was heartbroken to hear this news. May Rebecca know how much her Mom meant to some many people that she helped. RIP Patty! Rebecca you are a strong young lady my prayers are with you at this time.
Every once in awhile a special person comes along and Patty was that person. Brave and outspoken, she was willing to go there publicly when others were afraid. She kept going and going in her fight for what is right.
I am devastated to learn of her passing. Devastated. She will be missed. Deeply and greatly.
To her family, my condolences. She will not be forgotten. A true local hero.
Patty's soul is at rest...her spirit will never die..she is free from the judgements passed on her by those who should have first judged themselves..even when her friends were mocked on this site she allowed the cruel and bitter criticism to post and expose their false bravado behind anonymity.Her boundless energy in fighting for the underserved was both public and private...and that showed pure class. No more demons will haunt here..she is free.Anyone who truly knew Patty was the better for it..whether she cooked for you or did pro bone legal work for you or your cause..whether she stood up with you or for you in the public theater or simply shared a hug in time of need you can consider yourself blessed. I will miss Patty dearly..a character in the city whose legacy will continue through Melrose Messages. Thank God for your short life in earth terms and may he now give you Eternal Peace. Love you Patty. Peace to her family.
