Amy, this is one of my favorite pictures of you. It is not the best quality pic, but it does show one of your best qualities. You are fully there for these students. You hear them and you see them. Not just who they are now, but who they have the potential to be. It is such an honor to watch.

Patti – or Mom, as I know her – is a dedicated teacher, servant, and mother to all. She invites those into her home who have nowhere else to go; she gives of herself generously; she loves through acts of sacrificial service. Throughout her life, she has inspired and cared for many and continues to.
Simply put, Joan loves. She lives love. She humbly serves all who come across her path – the least of these, the left out, the neglected, the young, the overwhelmed. Joan cares for people with generosity and humility. She is a mother to the motherless, and a friend to those in need.
