My Angel Has Called Me  / Shawn Williams (Singer/Friend)

I was walking down the street that day, the voice is calling my name and say: "Shawn, just keep your head up and I will always be here for you." And I said: "Patti, I understand, that your voice singing straight into my heart and my soul." I pray for her that night and I said: "Lord, please pray for Patti, that I must continued singing for her to pay her respect." And the Lord said to me: "Shawn, Patti will be your friend and your guardian angel to protect you and guard you and she'll always be there with you. . . . . .forever!" Patti will pay my respect of keep singing.

Patti, I will continue on singing, I will always there for you with my heart and my soul. Cause you're my soulful angel has called me!

Loved Your voice and great dancing  / Dave Stewart

Patti was a beautiful lively woman. I watched her perform with Cher. She so very obviously loved her work. Joy exuded from her. I'm so very sorry that she's gone.

Missing you!  / Kelli G. (cousin)
Happy Birthday Pattie,  I can't beleive its almost two years that you been gone. Now two of your birthdays have passed.  Its really still seems surreal that your not with us.  Will we ever get use to that? I guess because we have your pictures and your songs that we all look at and listen to,  that its like your still here.  Your family, I mean all of us miss you everyday!  When were all together, we know someones missing, theres that empty place where you should be. We try and talk about you and thats hard too, because were still not there yet.  We may never be.  Kim and Dave, and Ken tryed to make xmas the same, to bring the music back. Because it kinda died the day you did.  They did a pretty good job, but again you were missing.  Your beautiful voice and heart wasn't there.  They say it gets easier but sometimes, I do beleive that losing you may never get easy for any of us!  Im still glad we have a place to go and talk to you, cause that helps.  Well I gotta go now, cause like they say life goes on.   It does, but the memories live in us forever.  I love You Pattie, and wish you were here.  We are all better for having known you sweet cousin.  Love you ,Kelli Close

In my dreams!  / Kelli Geoghegan (cousin)
Pattie,  We met in my dream again the other nite!  I'm trying to put them all together and see what they are trying to tell me.  Maybe nothing at all but a nice visit with you!  I miss you so much! We all do! Remember from the wizard of oz "It doesn't matter how much you love, but how much you are loved by others" I think that line fits you so well!  I will see you in my dreams!  If I can have only that ,then I will take it.  love you, Kelli Close

Thanksgiving / John Malone (None - Fan )
For years I have watched David Letterman and for some reason I always notice Patti in the background. The fact is I did not know her name until tonight. In one performance River Deep Mountain High, I watched her over and over again. She made the entire song for me. Her face told a thousand stories.
I am deeply saddened by your lost and I will say a pray tonight for you and her family.
She made me smile.

Would that we hadn't lost touch...  / Richard Kent Green (Colleagues - 27 years ago )

I just discovered this page, while trying to get back in touch with Patty through a Google search.

We worked together for a couple of years, in the early 80's, doing our thing in the  Weekend Show at Once Upon a Stove (3rd Ave & 24th St), then at Paper Moon (3rd St. Betw Thompson & Sullivan).

I was the upstart newcomer, Patty was the young pro with an old soul, a constant smile and always a supportive word - even when I'd mess up. 

Her sets are so memorable, it's like it was last week. "The Stranger" was my favorite.

We all sang backup for each other (at least, I got to once I was fully part of the gang). Heaven.

We ran into each other once in a while in Hell's Kitchen, home to many recording studios (& me). Patty was so modest and yet so proud about her gigs - whether she'd just recorded a one-line jingle or just opened in a big Broadway show.

She'd still always give me a big smile and a word of encouragement.

She was always, and always will be, an angel to me.

1 year!  / Kelli Geoghegan (cousin)
Dear Pattie,  Its still hard to believe that it has been one year, that you have been gone from us all!  We all have stumbled through, with a big chunk of our hearts missing.  All year we been trying to fill it, but maybe were not suppose to, maybe its suppose to be there, to remind us how much we all loved you.  To make us better for having known and loved you.  We know for sure that you were a gift from God and he just was lending you to us,  so you could share your beautiful voice and soul with us!  So you could teach us to be better and be happy and to enjoy every minute life has given us!  I could hear your voice saying its all good!  Well to tell you the truth its not all good without you, but were trying!  I know you would be mad that were al still sad, but I don't think you relized what an impact you made, in the short time you were here!  Sometimes when I'm just muddling through and I'm shopping in a store, a song will come on and it stops me in my tracks and either its you or someone who sounds like you.   It makes me smile and  sad but its your way of helping us through.  What a treasured gift we have of that,  we can turn on the Tv or radio and see and hear reminders of you, not every person has that when they lose someone they love.  Thanks for that Pattie, and thanks for so many memories and moments!  Thanks for making us all want to be better!!!!  We love and miss you so much! Maybe its gonna take a lot longer then a year to get through this!  No matter how long we will never forget you or stop loving you!  Love, Kelli   Close

11 Months  / Kelli Geoghegan (her cousin )
Pattie, It seems so unreal that you have been gone from us 11 months!  I guess we want to believe your off touring, somewhere doing what you love.  We want to believe you are singing your heart out and making people smile with your amazing voice and wonderful spirit!  You would be so proud of your family, there being so strong!  It is soo hard!  Im hoping for a time that we all will be able to get over your loss and start to really celebrate your life! I think that will take a lot longer!  Thank you for all the wonderful moments you gave us and all the love!  We have that to hold on to.  I hope you are in heaven and singing and having a ball with everyone you loved who has gone before you!  Whens its our time I hope that your face is the first one we all see, then we will know that we are in the right place. Love You!

Great memories  / Zeena Wathen (Berkowitz) (high school )
What a wonderful memorial to Patty.  We all knew in high school how talented she was.  She was also funny and kind and a good high school friend.  I saw her tour with Cher and wish I had tried to talk with her.  I have thought about her a lot through the years and continue to think about her often.  Thanks for this website.

Happy Brithday Pattie  / Kelli Geoghegan (cousin)

We are all missing you so much!  Not a day goes by that something doesn't remind us of you!  We hear your beautiful voice in our heads when we wake and just before we go to sleep at night!  You meant so much to so many, you were one special lady and we will always hold you in our hearts!   Happy Birthday dear cousin! We love and miss you so much! Love Kelli, Morgan and family.
