Since Aunt Patty was my daddy’s baby sister and only 9 years older than me, it was kind of funny to call her Aunt. I remember her riding her horse in the 4th of July parade which was a pretty big deal in Bogalusa. I think her horse’s name was Smoky. I remember her trying to get me to ride her horse, but I was too scared. I remember all the family get togethers, especially the ones at Christmas at yours and Patty’s house. I remember all the fun times with her at the Bogalusa Mardi Gras Parades. She never missed a family event. She was so much fun to be around! I remember you and Patty at mine and Rhonda’s wedding and you taking pictures and a video of that. I remember how pleased Patty was when she saw how happy we both were with how the pictures and video turned out. I love you Aunt Patty and I plan to see you again!
