This Holiday season is the second since Patty has passed, and so far, the most difficult. Patty was my best friend, my Hamfest buddy, and my favorite QSO daily as I left work, heading home to her. She was my earthly source of inspiration, and a living testament to the promise of salvation. Although I have since remarried, I will never forget the blessing that Patty was to me, and to all those who ever knew her. I know I will see her again, because with her dying breath, she told me she "Had to go, she could hear the angels wings, but she was savin' me a seat." At 33 years of age, she left my arms to be embraced by the arms of Jesus.
