I saw Donnell on Thursday while at Dr. Barry's and she told me about Patty. I couldn't believe it. I'd known Patty since back in the day with the incomparable Dr. Burgstiner, and I was wondering where she was at the office. Our kids were the same age and went to school together, and we had fun talking about their progress. She did my sonograms. My yearly visits will never be the same again. First Dr.B, now Patty. Too young, too soon. I'm so very sorry for your terrible loss, I'll miss her greatly.

Dear Family, My thoughts and prayers are with you. I was a patient of Dr. B's when Patty began working for him. She was such a wonderful person and talented nurse. We had developed such a great relationship through the years especially with my husband and me being blessed with six grandchildren. Patty helped take care of each one of those pregnanices. I am sorry that I wasn't able to attend the services; I have just been released from the hospital. Patty will be sadly missed. Linda D. Brannen

Dear McIntosh Family, Patty was there during all three of my pregnancies. She was so fun and we felt like she was our friend not just our nurse. We looked forward to seeing her and sharing family stories with her at each visit. She was so proud of her new granddaughter! We will greatly miss her. You are in our prayers.

I always looked forward to visiting with Patty when I went to Dr. Schlafstein's. The last time, just 3 weeks ago,we talked at length about our sons. She was SO proud, and rightly so, of her sons and of her new grandbaby and showed me several photos of you all.Not everyone is so blessed to have a mother who loves them as much as Patti loves you. My heart goes out to you and my prayers are with you also.

Dear McIntosh family: I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I knew Patty many years ago when she worked Labor and Delivery at St. Joseph's Hospital. We were both working a swing shift of 11-7 back then. I was fresh out of nursing school and she was so full of energy and such an inspiration to me. She was a truly wonderful nurse and I imagine an even greater mother and wife. I am deeply saddened by this news. What a tremendous loss for her patients and even more so, for you all. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this sad time. God bless all of you.
