Dear Wendy, Amy, Allen and Patrick,
I remember serving with Patty on the board of the RCCA in the early '80s - she was always so much fun! I'm very sorry to hear that she's gone. Sincere condolences,

Dear Wendy and Amy, Allen and Patrick-

So glad to have known Patty - and you all - for so many years. As an artist and "naturalized citizen of Troy" I know how much we all benefited from the life that Patty and Graham breathed into the cultural scene here.

I love that image of your Mom making art only weeks before she left. I hope I get to go out in the same high style some day! But I am grateful that she was here to guide the Arts Center - especially in those early days and helped to shape the huge influence that your family has had on the area. If there is a first family - a "Camelot of the Arts," surely it is the Williams family.

I will be thinking of you and your Mom in the coming days and am pleased that Allen and Patrick will be by your side in this difficult time. We're all saying goodbye to your Mom. In peace, Michael

Wendy and Amy, I am sorry for the loss of your dear mother. She was such a good friend to my mother Lois Cox (St John's) for many years and especially when Mom could no longer drive. You are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time of loss.

I am so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. She was such a wonderful person. I remember her fondly from St. John's...altar guild, vacation bible school, Xmas fairs and pageants. My thoughts are with you all. Sue

Wendy and Amy,
We were very saddened to hear that your Mom passed. She was a beautiful woman inside and out. We both have fond memories of her sitting on the sun dock with "THE LADIES" enjoying the lake. Also, having our girls stop by the Williams porch to paint and draw. She is, as your father is also, a very important part of Forest Lake Parks history. Our deepest condolences to you and your families.

So sorry to hear of the loss of your mother and grandmother. Patty was a wonderful woman whom we had the privilege of calling a friend since we first started coming to St. John's Episcopal Church about 4 decades ago. In fact, Graham and Patty were among the very first to welcome us and were instrumental in us continuing to come to this day. We will sorely miss Patty as we do your father and grandfather but will remember them fondly for rest of our days.

Wendy, Amy, Sam and Hannah, I don't know what to say. I not only lost my neighbor but a very good friend. She was so loving and so kind. I am just sorry that I took sick when she started getting worse and I couldn't be with her like I wanted to. She would save the crossword puzzles out of the newspaper for me and when she had a handful put them in my mailbox. You were all so wonderful to her. Sam and Hannah she loved the two of you so much. The help and love that you gave her will never be forgotten. I will miss seeing you when you use to come and visit. She will always be here with us. Take care my thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
