Dear David, Kelli, & Family, It was with great sorrow that I learned of Patti's passing this morning. I don't know if you remember me, but we lived in the Fairview Apartment Building for several years at the same time. You played with my son and daughter, Jeff and Kelly Techert, almost everyday. I have not been in touch with your mom for the past several years, and had no idea she was in ill health. Please know our thoughts, prayers, and best wishes are with you all during this most trying time. Please accept our condolences. Sincerely, Lynn (Techert) Kiser and family

To David, Kelli and Patti's family:I am shocked and sorrowed by the loss of Patti. She was a good friend to me for many years and is responsible for my husband and I meeting and our marriage. She was my best woman at the wedding. We will be forever grateful for the privilege of knowing her. My best memory was her sense of humor and positive outlook. She was always encouraging me to be the best I could be. I loved her.I will miss Patti and trust that we will meet again.
