In Memory of Patt/SnowAngel



My dear friend and mentor, Patt/SnowAngel was called to Heaven suddenly on April 10, 2010. Patt tested many of the tutorials I have on this site. She touched the hearts and souls of many folks throughout the world. Girlfriend, you will be missed.

Our beloved SnowAngel, Patt, now is a real angel;
watching from Heaven above and smiling down on us with her love.
Her faith clearly showed in the Christian letters she created;
not ashamed of what lay deep in her soul.
Patt had a genuine love for creating her art;
and passing along her love of creating to the world.
With every email we shared, her sense of humor was there,
and you always felt her deep sense of care.
Fly free, SnowAngel. You earned your wings, my dear friend.
