R.I.P., Patty Ann
— Ace

Terrible news as long-time blog-friend Patty Ann has died.

Patty Ann was a lovely woman who was always witty, cheerful, and kind. And she will surely be missed. I canÂ’t help but get the feeling that, if at all possible, heaven will be a little brighter today because sheÂ’s joined itÂ’s ranks.

That's from Stace McCain who's also lowered the flags to half staff.

She was a wonderful woman. Few people just make other people feel good about themselves and life. She was special.

3 PattyAnn helped me with my first HHD (Hunky Hump Day) Post. She was a woman who appreciated a manly man. You know who you are. A Good woman. A loss for sure. She will be missed...already is.

8 A day of sadness for us at The Hostages. She was the best.

Dear Patty Ann is healed of her wounds now and free of mortal pain.

10 OMG terribly sorry to hear this. All my thoughts and prayers to her, her friends and her family. May she rest in peace.

15 Patty Ann's passing renders this mortal plane a far more two-dimensional place. Those who called her "friend" are richer in spirit for knowing her and poorer for her loss.

Posted by: Jazz at June 07, 2011 01:27 PM (XNVJP)

I didn't know PA that well, but... damn... following along with those updates and reading people's kind words...

Felt a lot closer than she actually was. Godspeed, PA.

17 One of the first people I had personal contact with in the moronosphere. Sweet lady will be dearly missed...

May she rest in peace.

18 God Bless, Ms. PattyAnn! Our loss is Heaven's Gain. Thank you for the time you spent with us. You will be missed. Heartfelt condolences to John and family is this time of grief.

Posted by: Sox at June 07, 2011 01:29 PM (IR0R1)

19 If there's a way to send flowers... I'm certain the moron nation could fill a church, or 3. Address to a funeral home would be appreciated.

20 Rest in Peace.

22 Condolences to all her family and friends. She obviously touched many, a testament to a well lived life.

23 Address to a funeral home would be appreciated.

I think that's being worked on. Hold thy horses, dear moron.

26 Really sad and shocking news. I read her comments a lot at The Hostages and she was a very witty and genuinely nice person. My condolences to her family and friends.

Posted by: Dr Spank at June 07, 2011 01:36 PM (k0TKJ)

27 My thoughts and prayers are with her family and all her friends there, and here.

Posted by: wankette at June 07, 2011 01:36 PM (CrYip)

28 It's very sad for the friends and family she left behind, but not sad for her as she checked in to Heaven.
Prayers for the family - and some rejoicing that she's reunited with our Lord.

33 I think Patty Ann was a member of Moron Nation when said Nation could fit in my living room.

Not saying she was old, but just an old Moron.

Ahem, if you know what I mean.......

34 May the road rise to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face. May the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again, May the Lord hold you in the palm of His hand.

35 That's sad for us. May God bless her soul in the next life.

36 Prayers with her family and all who knew here. I'm relatively new to AoS so I'm not very familiar with her, but it is great to see she was known and loved by the Moron Nation and is being remembered well.

37 The loss of PattyAnn has truly harmed the Earth. The love she shared can only grow.

Posted by: LC Aggie Sith at June 07, 2011 01:55 PM (+bSoE)

38 I met PA here back in 2005. She was one of my first "real" friends in the moronosphere. I'll miss our chats. She's an old school conservative, she loved everyone, and was fiercely faithful to her friends. And she loves Sam Elliot......a lot. She has good taste.

Posted by: pajama momma at June 07, 2011 01:55 PM (cBScC)

39 You couldn't be unhappy when PattyAnn was in the room. She brought joy.

40 I've silently followed Patty's progress in the war... and I am saddened by her loss. RIP Patty and best wishes to family and friends.

41 PA was such an old moron, she remembered me from when I was a regular here and dragged me to the H2. a sweet , loverly lady who left us too soon. And funny as they come.

Thanks for this, Ace - I've added a link to this page in the comments section on the "Update on Patty Ann" post.

She will be missed, but I take great comfort in knowing that she's probably up in Heaven right this minute, running St. Peter ragged......

50 Hahaha. How YOU doin'? Haven't talked to you in a while.

Yeah, I been working a lot more and my mom is ill and I spent 3 weeks in PA a few months ago. I'm heading back there on Friday night to spend some more time with her. I heard you had another little girl! Congratulations and hope the Frau is well. Anymore children in your future?

57 To those of you who were friends of Patty Ann on Facebook, her page is still up and her family is reading the condolences if you'd like to leave one

Posted by: kbdabear at June 07, 2011 02:39 PM (vdfwz)

58 I'm always amazed at how sad I feel when I read about the loss of a moron or a member of the moron's family. I've only read their words and never met them in real life, but there is a genuine sense of loss. Rest in peace, Patti Ann. My deepest sympathy to Patti Ann's family.

64 Ace,

the graveside service for Patty Ann is at the Swisher Cemetery in Lake Dallas, Tx at 11:00am Thursday morning. http://is.gd/V84LUk Visitation at the Mulkey Mason Funeral Home will be from 6:30pm to 8:00pm tomorrow (Wednesday). http://is.gd/gCm3Y7

Posted by: dick at June 07, 2011 03:06 PM (KSbzL)

65 For anyone who wishes to send flowers... Visitation is tomorrow evening, Wednesday June 8th. The family will have a private time and then visitation will be open from 6:30 - 8:00 p.m. (Texas time) at Mulkey-Mason Funeral Home, 740 South Edmonds Lane, Lewisville, TX (phone: 972-436-4581) Any flowers delivered there will then be transported by the funeral home to the graveside for the funeral on Thursday morning, June 9th. For those who are wondering who I am... I'm Cathy at InnocentBystanders and Hostages, wife Michael.PattyAnn's family has asked me to do the funeral.

Posted by: Cathy at June 07, 2011 03:11 PM (jVzcR)

66 The outpouring of support and well wishes here is truly amazing. Makes me unabashedly proud to be a moron, even on this sad day.

67 I remember when Patty Ann killed a dude for cutting her off in traffic, she was sweet like that.

Posted by: Dr Spank at June 07, 2011 03:16 PM (k0TKJ)

68 To get an idea of what Cathy has done for this family, take a look at the H2 link (top one). A good portion, if not most, of those entries are hers. She has been a saint throughout this ordeal, and she deserves our thanks. She made Patty Ann's last days a little bit brighter, I'm sure.

75 Job well done,ace. Most don't do this. Thank you. 23rd in Latin

1 Dominus regit me, et nihil mihi deerit:
2 in loco pascuÃ¦, ibi me collocavit.
Super aquam refectionis educavit me;
3 animam meam convertit.
Deduxit me super semitas justitiÃ¦
propter nomen suum.
4 Nam etsi ambulavero in medio umbrÃ¦ mortis,
non timebo mala, quoniam tu mecum es.
Virga tua, et baculus tuus,
ipsa me consolata sunt.
5 Parasti in conspectu meo mensam
adversus eos qui tribulant me;
impinguasti in oleo caput meum:
et calix meus inebrians, quam prÃ¦clarus est!
6 Et misericordia tua subsequetur me
omnibus diebus vitÃ¦ meÃ¦;
et ut inhabitem in domo Domini
in longitudinem dierum.

79 I don't remember seeing her name here and I have been around for a few years but I'm not always the most observant person. Nevertheless, when I saw the posting about her a few weeks back I said a prayer for her. Sorry to hear of her passing and my prayers are with her family. RIP Patty Ann.. you sound like a very special lady and I know you will missed terribly.

I've lurked for a long time, and remember reading and enjoying her comments. Peace be with her family and loved ones, including her friends in Moron Nation.

**************

A ship sails and I stand watching till she fades on the horizon and someone at my side says: She is gone.

Gone where? Gone from my sight, that is all. She is just as large now as when I last saw her. Her diminished size and total loss from my sight is in me, not in her.

And just at that moment, when someone at my side says she is gone, there are others who are watching her coming over their horizon and other voices take up a glad shout: There she comes!

That is what dying is. An horizon and just the limit of our sight.

Lift us up O Lord, that we may see further.

89 @52, I probably know Patty Ann longer than anyone else here. we were both originals, about 6 or seven years ago, and got along immediately. I LOVE that woman. VERY KIND VERY THOUGHTFUL. I would talk to her at least bi-weekly, and if I didn't call her or if I didn't answer the phone, she would CALL AND CALL AND CALL to make sure I was okay. Mesa once (several times, but once that can be documented,) refered to her as "HIS second Mom."

Patty was a friend, I knew her, we talked, we hugged, and she was one of the original hostages she is a wonderful girl, I've been crying since I learned about her passing, I didn't think the bad stuff was gonna start till tomorow.

I lost my friend, that's all. I lost my friend.

Posted by: Wickedpinto at June 07, 2011 10:09 PM (YKOnu)

90 Also, thanks Ace for remembering her, That's a damn good thing. She's a good girl.

Posted by: Wickedpinto at June 07, 2011 10:18 PM (YKOnu)

91 I think Patty Ann was a member of Moron Nation when said Nation could fit in my living room.

Patty was one of the originals of Moron Nation, I think she predated me here, She was the Ms. Grabbapple of AOS, always correcting people in simple things, but getting down and dirty like it's what she does ever afternoon. It's why we clicked.

BTW Mike she brought TWO Pies, even you and I couldn't eat them. Those were some fat effing pies.

Posted by: Wickedpinto at June 07, 2011 10:25 PM (YKOnu)

92 Yes I took on the wicked moniker, just for this.

Posted by: Wickedpinto at June 07, 2011 10:43 PM (YKOnu)

93 Here's a true story, about 19 years ago I got into the net, and I made a friend, she went by "Circe" She was an older girl, who was FAIR at the game, but noticed that I was really good at it, but a bit of a jerk. We became friends, she taught me manners, I taught her the math of the game, and how to recognize "hidden math"

we talked regularlyShe died about a month after I joined The Corps.

I had logged in a few times while I was in The Corps, but I never saw an update. LITERALLY The day after I finish my jail sentence (lets not talk about that) for something I was COMPLETELY GUILTY OF,(lets not talk about that either) I logged in, and there was this mail, from circe, who passed away YEARS before. and it was xomething like "Doug, you are young and will make mistakes, I know I did at your age, get over them and be the man that I know you can be."

She was already gone, but I had JUST effed up, and it's like she was speaking to me from the grave.

Posted by: Wickedpinto at June 07, 2011 10:53 PM (YKOnu)

94 That hurt too. In fact, I posted all of circe's messages on the MUD.

I will miss Circe, I will miss Cranky, and I will miss PA. FUCK will I miss PA.

Posted by: Wickedpinto at June 07, 2011 10:57 PM (YKOnu)

Condolences to PA's friends and family.
