Patti---
You were a delight, put lights in my eyes and a grin on my face when you popped into the Newsgarden. We were virtual reality to each other, but isn't everything an illusion anyway, Patti? I'm so glad we shared a space on this earth. Good-bye.
Your Samurai...

My heart goes out to the family of Patti Bennet. I was involved in an online community she was a part of for many years, and know that this community feels her loss. She was a wonderful, funny lady who could always lighten the moment or take the teeth out of a contentious situation. She will be sorely missed. My love and prayers go out to her family.

rest in peace Patti

I know when one passes on, we think of only the good one has done. I can't think of anything bad I could honestly say about her. My prayers go out to her loved ones in this time of mourning.

It was great to have Patti in our online family. May she have found peace.

With Love

Patti you were an inspiration to all of us in #newsgarden, just one gutsy lady is all I can say.
You have touched all of our hearts in so many ways.
I like to think of you now as a free spirit with no earthly bonds to fetter you as you continue your journey with Smokie by your side.
May we meet again,Love,maggijo

You are one of the sweetest, strong and lovely people I've ever known. You gave me strength and encouragement. Thanks for being such a wonderful secretary for the #newsgarden. You are loved and will be missed greatly. Blessings to your family. I played songs that you would love, all night long. It felt good!

Hugs,
Suzzie :)

Pat was good friend and neighbor. She sat outdoors with us and chatted with all of us as if she was family. She was kind hearted and like a sister. She use to tell us about her sisters and the trip she took last year to New York. She will be deeply missed by us all. Deepest condolences to Matt and Danielle and family. Rest in peace Pat!!

We knew each other on line but never met in person. But, you've always been a favorite of mine. Too bad I never got you out to Colorado to make snow angels in the snow but who knows, maybe there's an opportunity in heaven. Save a place for all of us and we'll see you again. Rest in peace.

You've been a good friend to me for a long time, and I've watched your struggle for the past few years, believing your enormous strength would pull you through. Never wanted to believe you would not beat this thing, and be around for many more years. I know you've suffered greatly, and I know you've been very tired. Guess you needed to go more than we needed you not to. I'll miss you, and it's been a priviledge to know you.

You were a joy to know, and you touched many souls. Life will be poorer for your passing. We were lucky to have found you, in the chaos of the internet, and you have affected so many people worldwide, but we were the lucky one's to have had the opportunity to get to know you. I know your soul is flying high with the stars.

My condolences to Patti's family.
