  6. It’s with great sorrow my mind wanders through my beautiful memories of Sylvia. She was a Hoyt Place roommate, then my sister – in -law, bridesmaid, Kelley’s Godmother, to our camping with our kids, through added years of holiday dinners, fun road trips, visits in Austin, Inlet, Rochester, Wellsville, my partner in card games and the list and memories go on. Yes Sylvia, you will be missed, but I am most thankful for all the wonderful times we had the opportunity to share over the years. With much love and a broken heart I send my sympathy to all in our families.

You, Silvia and the family will always be in my prayers. God Bless.

  24. Dear Bob, Shaun, Tana, Darin I am so sorry for your loss.

    Sylvia or Mrs P as I always called her became my extra mum during my high school exchange year in 1988/89). Mrs P and Bob welcomed me into the family with a special warm feeling, smiling faces, caring for eachother and many loughs that continued during my year with the Paddens.

    Looking back, it was a great year with many fantastic memories. Sometimes I wounder how Mrs P let me get away with some things I did or said. She had a fantastic personality and as some days for me where tougher being far away from family and friends somehow she always picked me up. She always treated me as one in the family – my extra mum!! My year with the Paddens shaped me more than I could believe at that time. I see it now, and for that I am very grateful. I have Mrs P and the family to thank for letting me become a part of a fantastic family that brings me great memories and friendship.

    I miss you and I will never forget you and when I think of you I am smiling!

    Take care whereever you are!

    Love
    Patrick

  27. To the Padden Family I am so sorry for your loss. My wife Tracie, my son Aiden, and I will have you all in our prayers.

  28. To the Padden Family we are so sorry for your lost. Tracie, Aiden, and myself will have in my our prayers. Mrs. P was truly blessed to have a wonderful family.
