I had the pleasure of meeting Patty and the whole Laux family in Chicago last year. I had a great time with everyone. I’m soooo sorry for your loss.
I met Mrs. Wolfe in 1973 - I was only 4. I moved away from Waupaca 11 short years later at the age of 15. During these very difficult years for me, she brought me hope and encouragement. Pat accepted me and made me feel like family. Looking back now, I am sure at times it was difficult for her to watch me after school - Linda and I could be a handful. Those after school times taught me valuable lessons just by observing - selflessness, compassion and acceptance. I learned not to judge someone by their situation but by who they were in their heart and by their potential - she saw my potential when I did not. She spoiled me on sleep overs at their home by setting out fresh towels for a shower (my family didn't have a shower so that was a treat), making snacks for Linda and me and allowing me to not drink milk at dinner time, I didn't like milk.
She invited me to their cabin countless times which gave me my love for lakes and boating. I can hear her laughter today from the kitchen at the cabin as Linda and I read books on the screen porch. All of these things may seem normal to many but for me they were special.
I am forever grateful for my time with the Wolfe Family and especially for having Pat and Doug Wolfe as role models. Without even realizing it, I modeled my adult life after what the Wolfe family taught me. I will miss you Pat. I am so very happy for Facebook so that the past few years we have been in contact and I was able to tell her how much she meant to me as a young child. She has touched so many lives. I wanted you all to know how much your Mom and your Dad touched mine. God Bless.

Pat was a dear friend with our book group. She always contributed to the discussion.
I also would say hello to her often at St. Mary Magdelane.
