Remembering Patty....

This post is for my cousin Patty Plessner Ruth who passed away early Friday morning. She was only 45 years old. I have many happy childhood memories that involve Patty including swimming at the Madison pool, mud pies & oil soup, playing cafe in our kitchen/dining room, three-wheeling, visits to your family cabin on Pomme De Terre-learning to waterski & kick the can, embarrassing Kristi and her date by wearing her bras over our clothes, and spinning so hard on the mini merry-go-rounds at the Hoffman school that somebody even peed in their pants. Our moms were not pleased. You had a lot of fun ideas and many of our antics resulted in getting in trouble after Karen reported us! I am so sorry that you died so young and that your family is heartbroken. You raised two beautiful, smart daughters and I know how proud you were of them. You were a cherished wife, daughter, sister and of course a cousin to so many of us. I picture you in heaven with Grandma Anderson and that brings me some peace. Thank you for being a very special cousin and playmate. We will miss you.
