My Aunt Pat, You lit up an entire room by just by being around. You were always kind, loving, happy, funny and entertaining. I could always spot your smile across the room and I remember doing that many times. Your sense of humor was always warm and loving. You always went out of your way to always make everyone feel welcome, no matter what the occasion. I have many fond memories over the years of numerous good times spent with you and the family and families. I will be forever grateful that we came to visit with you and the family last month. It had been quite awhile, I could have never known it would be the last time I would see you. THAT, makes me so sad. I will never forget your beautiful smile. Love, Vickie

My deepest condolences to the Riza family. Yes Patty always greeted me with the happy smile.

I offer my most heartfelt condolences to the Rizas family. Patti was always a joyful, inspiring presences and will most heartfully be missed.

My deepest condolences to the Rizas family.

If you knew this beautiful lady, you also loved her, Patti. She & I had a great relationship since our girls were babies. They grew up together, almost as sisters instead of as cousins. We had so many fun times together. I remember the little skate pond Robert built in their backyard so the girls could ice skate. They would visit us at our home as we had an inground pool and we always had fun & laughs together. Patti and I had shared many ups and downs one, or the other might have, but always had encouragement for each other. Great times together with mom & dad Rizas also, family meals & holidays. In the family we all have human emotional attachments and these are called relationships. Some are temporary but some are permanent and last a lifetime. Mine, with Patti, will last forever. So glad she has no more pain, or tears & is in the arms of her loving Savior. She will always remain in

my heart and I know that some day I will see her again in heaven. Words do not have to be expressed if you knew Patti. She was so filled with love & caring for others, that you always felt it in her presence. You will always remain in my heart, with deep love, your sister-in-law, Roberta (&Ron).❤️❤️

To My Aunt

My heart is sad because of the loss I know

Aunt Pat is in a better place that's sure

This hope we have as life we plough

To see her again in heaven secure

This life without you will never be the same

The joy, the laughter, influence, and example

All poured out for others to claim

Your love on display was more than ample

Your imprint on my life has been so impactful

I wish we never grew apart or so distant

The memories will forever be lasting and embottled

Our visits were lapsed and far too inconsistent

May your love for God and others live on

Your legacy empowering those to be strong

The endurance you taught us is remembered and thrives on

All these cherishing in my heart belong

To the Rizas family,

I am so saddened to hear of Patty’s passing. I got to know Patty and Bob through their involvement with Neptune Democratic club many years ago. She was truly a pleasure to be around; always smiling and seemed genuinely happy to see you. My parents, especially my mom- Betty Reilly, always spoke so highly of her. You are in my prayers.

Deepest sympathies to Stefanie and all of her family. Your obituary was beautifully written. May your memories help you through these difficult times. Mike Palumbo

Patty was a good neighbor and friend. We chatted over the fence all the time making plans usually for shopping. Stefanie and my girls grew up together and we were Brownie leaders together . Missed them so much when they moved but we will always have the memories to cherish. Love you Patty
