Dear Lindsay/Burk Family,
I am deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Patty. She was not just a dear friend but an inspiring classmate during our nursing assistant class during our Senior year of High School.
Her warmth and enthusiasm touched everyone around her.
Please know that my thoughts are with you during this challenging time. Patty will always hold a special place in my heart, and I will cherish the memories we made together.
If there's anything I can do to support you or honor her memory, please don't hesitate to reach out.
With heartfelt sympathy,
Helen Hartzell Guinther
