    1 Thessalonians 4:14 says that “for if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him”, so we can rest assured that Patti is in the joy of the Lord now.

    The wargo family were my neighbors my whole childhood. Patty even watched me before school as a sitter when I was a toddler. Her smile and laugh would always make me smile. 35 years later Denise and the wargos are my oldest friends in my life. Love you! Miss you!

    Donna & I will be missing the family gatherings with Patty. Growing up on Wilder St. with little sis. And of course, "It’s under the beneath".

    Aunt Patti, The world lost an incredible woman … you! I miss you and the kids miss you, too. Your smile & laughter were infectious. You always knew how to have a good time. I remember one Christmas Eve many moons ago, celebrating at your house on California Dr.—- someone made rum balls, (was it you?) and anyways mom (Marge) and me ate more than we should, and needless to say the ride home that night mom & me were laughing at everything. I can remember visiting you at your house with Grandma Emily, and how fun it was- I remember having appointments at the OB office and seeing you..you always gave me hugs afterwards & we chatted a tiny bit. I love that you hosted the twins baby sprinkle. I felt so loved that day. You made everything perfect. I remember how generous you always were- from sharing garage sale finds to giving the kids a little something- or just handing me a $20 randomly (like my mom would do occasionally) “just because”… or to do something fun with the kids…. I remember mom’s funeral, and sobbing on your shoulder during the service. I remember how tightly you held my hand. I cherish all of the conversations we’ve had since mom died… the way you could feel my broken heart and comfort me. I’ll forever remember your heart & love for life. I can only imagine the reunion with Nick, Mom, Grandma Emily & Grandpa Frank. Rest in peace now beautiful Angel. Don’t worry about us, here, we will support and offer our hearts to Uncle Jimmy and Denise. With love, Krissy

    Patti, I remember you from days past, the old Aetna days. You babysat my daughter for a bit. My heartfelt condolences to your family.

    Jim and Denise I am truly sorry to hear about the passing of your spouse and mother. She was always bubbly and funny. We nicknamed her “Tex” and it stuck with her for years! She was a great friend to me when I needed it most in my life! She will be truly missed. Love you my friend, rest in peace ❤️
