"Glendale, Rollen and Family of Patti Azure: Oh my what heartbreaking news. I have such fond memories of her coming to the school to see Glendale, she was so shy she would stand and wave at me just inside the door. I would go out and get her and bring her in to see Glendale and she would chatter all the way in she was so cute! When it was just D.J. and other people she knew she would talk and laugh and be so relaxed. She was always grateful and thanked you over and over again for any help you gave her. Patti showed nothing but kindness to everyone. Her smile and that little wave will be greatly missed. We are so sorry for your loss and will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. D.J. and Gina Johnson "
In loving memory of
Patricia A. "Patti" Azure

"We are so sorry for your loss. The boys and I will miss our visits with Patti. She was wise, proud, and our friend. I have spent many days sitting out side and having Patti tell me about her life and loving every minute of it. Life here will be some getting use to without our awesome friend. Patti's love for God and life will make it better for all who knew her and loved her. She sure was a special lady and friend, one I will never forget. "
