Andrew Long wrote a sympathy message

“Patty was such a blessing as a colleague. In particular, she "adopted" my brother-in-law "KP" as her teaching assistant. KP is from Togo, West Africa, so the two of them would enjoy speaking French together. When KP had aspirations of continuing his schooling after graduation from NKU, Patty was part of a chain of wonderful people who helped KP get funding to UC, and a PhD; he has gone on to work for the CDC, fighting Ebola, Polio, etc in Africa. His success is in large measure due to Patty....”
