What a wonderful reminder of Patty's birthday. The summer solstice with a strawberry full moon, the first in 67 years, and the beginning of summer days to share memories of Patty. I am still so grateful for her support in the adoption of her grandson, Alex, into our family. Today as I babysit Alex I am again reminded of Patty's compassion, generosity and above all undying love. I know she is smiling down on all of us and enjoying the happiness she helped to create. Happy Birthday, Cousin.

Today would have been Patty's birthday, and I keep getting reminders from electronic card services and do not know how to turn them off. Perhaps it is Patty's way of teasing me from heaven. Last night we thought of her in the strawberry moon, where I trust she was dancing.

I was looking for Kayla on the internet since she was my best friend and I lost touch with her a while ago so I decided to start with Pat.  I already knew she was dead but I thought maybe I could find something out about Kayla. Seeing this made me realize how much I missed Pat. She was a great person and I loved her. She was always great to Kayla and I.

On the anniversary of Patty's passing, thinking of her bright light on a gray day. Patty's spirit still blesses us all.

Patty's family is remembering and missing her this holiday season. Her mom is one of our dearest friends. I know she still feels the void that Patty left, and is forever grateful for loving memories. From Martha and Alison

Although we can't be there in person, Martha and I will be with all of you in spirit this weekend as you celebrate and remember Patty in a way she will be appreciating!

Patty will always have a place in my heart, as I'm sure she will in all of yours. She always looked at things in a unique way and shared her love and understanding with all she met. You are missed, Patty.

I remember holding Patty, my second niece, not long after she was born. So beautiful, such blond hair, such warmth...As this sweet little girl grew up, her warmth only blossomed. Oddly, one vivid memory of Patty as a little girl came just before she and her family were headed to England. Sitting at the dining room table at 1911 Deer Park, Patty frowned and said, "Ow. My back hurts." None of us then realized just how much it must have hurt. In the last decade or so, before her toughest health issues arose, each time I saw Patty, we promised each other that she would join my wife and me for a Boundary Waters canoe trip. How I wish that we had been able to do that. Perhaps in God's great mysteries, there will still be a way.

I count my blessings for having had Patty in my life, and I will never forget her beautiful smile, loving soul, and sincerity. My heart breaks for her family, the closest I've ever known. May the many memories and stories continue to bring comfort, as she will live with us forever.

Pat was a good neighbor and friend. We both liked flowers, and from time to time Kayla would appear on our door step with a bunch of flowers Pat had bought at the store. Jim exchanged books with her, we will miss her greatly, she had a gentle soul.

Not a day goes by that Pat is not on our minds. She was the most amazing, loving, caring neighbour and best friend that anyone could ask for. She touched our hearts and will always have a special place in our lives. She will always and forever be missed. Love, Tim and Toby

Until we meet again dear friends

Patty and Taos will always be connected in my mind. It is one of our absolute most favorite places of all. We learned from Betty that she worked there and had the chance to be with her several times. What a delightful person! The memories are good.

I am a good friend with Patty's mother, so I knew through her how special Patty was to so many people. Her life was lived with purpose, and her giving person was at time costly. I reach out to Betty as she faces life without Patty. May the memories of her be a comfort to all the family.

My mom was the most caring and patient person I ha ever met I love u mom thank you for giving me a new chance at life

In our sadness at the passing of Patty, may the Lord's loving grace fill us each with hope and with His peace as we trust in Him. Romans 15:13
Patty's lovely kindness and generosity will surely last for us and coming generations.

Patty has been a great friend for 20 years or so. Her family and ours became intertwined over years of shared adventures with Kayla, grad school, Alex and so very, very much more. She was always a person of great generosity and tremendous spirit. It has been a pleasure to share a community with Patty and her family. She will always have a special place in our heart and in our thoughts. Jenna and Lauren cannot recall a time without Patty, but have shared many warm memories of her with Dru and me since she passed.

Being the older sister to Roy and my best friend Patty could have offered lots of criticism and advice to the two of us and justifiably so. Roy and made the most of high school. But instead Patty was sweet and protective. She let us run but not too far. I'll remember her as the 'cool' sister. She was kind to me. She was smart and fun to be around. I'll miss her.

I searched out Patty in Taos in 1994 after I found out that her late husband was Forbes Taylor. He had been a childhood friend of my sister's in Washington, DC and his parents were friends of my parents. Patty and I hit if off instantly. She was such a adorable, kind-hearted person, with a winning personality. I already miss her.

Patty is certainly appreciating the loving coming together of her family and friends. Our hearts are with all of you, and especially with Kayla,, as you cope with this sudden loss. Martha and Alison

My memories of Patty are numerous, and it seems like just yesterday we were playing a hot game of two-handed, touch football, out in the yard, with all the Youngman clan heavily involved. Whereas football wasn't Patty's favorite way of spending the afternoon, she was always game, and followed her father's instructions with vigor. Truly, she was a lady, and her love of animals, nature and little children was an add-on to this beautiful woman of God. Her loving patience and insight into the world around her was rather rare in today's, fast pace society. Maybe we should all take stock, and try to be more like Patty.

Rest in Peace dear sister in law. May your beautiful spirit live on in the lives of us who were fortunate to have known you.

Patty was lovely, gentle, generous and perpetually optimistic despite many difficult setbacks. I loved and admired her and I'm deeply saddened by the news of her passing. My heart goes out to her family and especially to Kayla. God be with you all.

Patty was the real deal, a caring and warm friend with the sweetest smile dancing across her face constantly. Working with her in Taos was the best introduction to the town I could have wished for. Meeting her for breakfast on trips back was always so special, catching up with all her family news and laughing together at the old memories. I will miss her deeply. We all will.

Patty really cared about people and about local business in Taos. Her work in presenting Taos to the world was inspiring and on target. She was very very good to me and to Taos. She will be forever missed by all. May her family and friends be proud of all she did to make this a better world.

Patty was a beautiful, gentle and caring person who will be deeply missed. My condolences go out to all of her family and friends.

Patty is always with us ... in our going up and coming down. She is with us in her kitchen on Valerio Road ... on the slopes of Taos Ski Valley ... hiking the switch backs to Gold Hill ... pulling Kayla and friends in a little red wagon through the Albuquerque Zoo ... talking about books and dreams and all the times we had to share. She was the kindest person I have ever known, and I pray, Sweet Jesus, that some of her kindness will stay with me as a way of celebrating her life.
