I have put this off for what seems like forever. Trying to find the words to express the heartbreak of your loss was not an easy task.
NEVER have I seen someone fight as hard as you did. Being cousins, you were always someone that I looked up to, but your fight made you my hero. I still remember every "update" email and how I would cry everytime, be it good or bad news. You were amazing through everything that you went through. You fought with such dignity and amazing candor.
I can still remember the Christmas Afternoon when you came over to our house to hang out and play with the toys that I had gotten that year. I can still remember the toys "Fisher Price Adventure People" Rule!
You were always so loving and kind, always making time to talk to me, no holds barred...your encouragement and excitement over the smallest of things. You were far more then my cousin, you were my friend and I will always be greatful for that.
A huge hole has been left in the family with you gone, the wine at Thanksgiving will be a little sour for years to come.
I will always have the wonderful memories of the fun we had at Billy's wedding and our special dance together. A memory that I will always hold tight in my heart.
I will miss you and love you for all of my days, and one day, see those beautiful blue eyes when I come home. Thank you for leaving your mark on my life in more ways then you will ever know.
Loving and missing you Patti, now and forever. Give big kisses to your Mom, Cassandra and Grandmo!
Until you greet me at the gates...your little cousin Jimmie</b></font><br><br>

Patty,
Growing up we weren’t very close…5 years is a huge difference when you are 5 and 10, or 10 and 15. But you were always my tie-dyed wearing, Grateful Dead twirling hippie cousin who I thought was so cool.
As we became adults, we became friends. Our Bermuda cruise was the best vacation ever! Of course, all the foreign waiters melted at the pretty American with the blonde hair and blue eyes. But we had fun…we ate too much, drank too much, danced too much…and even with our folks on board.
Then there was our trip to Winterhawk. Kim and I traveled to New England to meet you and Julian on the side of a hill for a weekend of blue grass music. It was also a weekend of no running water or flushing toilets. A weekend of hiding our dirty hair under hats and bathing with baby wipes. But the charcoal was hot, the beer was cold and the music was great. That was the first time I ever heard Alison Krauss’ voice. And, we had a special guest on that trip…baby Ally hung with us on the side of that hill. She was only a few months old at the time so greasy hair wasn’t an issue and they were her baby wipes.
Today my heart is full of memories and it’s so hard to believe you are gone. You battled your illness with such determination and grace. I truly admire your strength. God Bless you Pat-Pat. Kiss your mom for me, and watch over us all…
Love you always, Susie</b></font><br><br>

Dear Patty,
I'm going to jump onto Nancy's bandwagon(no pun intended) and recall all the Neil we used to listen to also, especially "Harvest" and you did have a Heart of Gold. I also remember seeing you in the halls of old PHS and being shocked to see your short hair! You had such confidence while the majority of us(me) were still cloaked in our veil of hair.I thought you were so brave! To all of Pat's family,especially those I knew during Pat~Pats reighn,I feel the deepest of sorrow. May God give you all the strength you need. Things will never be the same. Love, Lisa</b></font><br><br>

Look out of any window
any morning, any evening, any day
Maybe the sun is shining
birds are winging or
rain is falling from a heavy sky -
What do you want me to do,
to do for you to see you through?
this is all a dream we dreamed
one afternoon long ago
Walk out of any doorway
feel your way, feel your way
like the day before
Maybe you'll find direction
around some corner
where it's been waiting to meet you -
What do you want me to do,
to watch for you while you're sleeping?
Well please don't be surprised
when you find me dreaming too
Look into any eyes
you find by you, you can see
clear through to another day
I know it's been seen before
through other eyes on other days
while going home --
What do you want me to do,
to do for you to see you through?
It's all a dream we dreamed
one afternoon long ago
Walk into splintered sunlight
Inch your way through dead dreams
to another land
Maybe you're tired and broken
Your tongue is twisted
with words half spoken
and thoughts unclear
What do you want me to do
to do for you to see you through
A box of rain will ease the pain
and love will see you through
Just a box of rain -
wind and water -
Believe it if you need it,
if you don't just pass it on
Sun and shower -
Wind and rain -
in and out the window
like a moth before a flame
It's just a box of rain
I don't know who put it there
Believe it if you need it
or leave it if you dare
But it's just a box of rain
or a ribbon for your hair
Such a long long time to be gone
and a short time to be there
I miss you soooo much already!! Love, your little sister Gigi</b></font><br><br>

Dear Patty:
It’s hard to write letters that contain things that should have been said in person, but never will be. I can only imagine the emptiness your family must feel at your passing but I sense that they are relieved that you are no longer in pain, but are now free of the earthly trials that have beset you for what I understand has been a long time.
My memories of you are of your beautiful smile and unforgettable laugh. Perhaps my earliest recollection of knowing you is at Memorial School while I was still the ‘new’ kid in Pitman. I think it was around that time that you introduced me to the wonderful music of Carole King. I assure you I don’t hear one of her songs from that era without thinking of you. During our Senior trip to Orlando, we sang every Neil Young song we knew on the bus back from Cypress Gardens. (I am certain we sounded FABULOUS.) I also recall when you went from long to short hair and how much you enjoyed not having to bear the weight of all that hair! I remember your wedding and how much fun we all had celebrating that special day. After that, I admit we lost touch until one of my sisters told me she saw you on Holly Avenue rescuing a turtle from what certainly would have been a dire fate on the road. It did not surprise me that you would undertake a task like that – it was a clear indication of your caring spirit.
There is much more that is better left to later reflection, but there is little doubt that I will not forget Pat Cancglin. I am so glad to have known you.
Patty, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers now. I trust that the Almighty has welcomed you into his arms and has healed all your hurt and pain. I only hope that your family can find comfort in the knowledge that you are safe in the arms of the Lord and that they are not alone in their loss. May God bless them and you. Rest well, my friend.
Love,
Nancy</b></font><br><br>
