Obituary for VAN PATTEN


Published in the Albuquerque Journal on Sunday October 30, 2005

Vance V. Sr. In Memory of Vance V. Van Patten Sr. October 30, 1931 - September 27, 2004 "The Best Father A Daughter Could Want" This is your first Birthday away from me, without a chocolate cake. I know you are in a better place, where you're happy and healthy once again; free from the pain of these last five years. For that reason I try each and every day to stop my tears from falling, stop wishing you were still here and remember you've gone where you wanted to be. Yet that is not an easy thing to do. Everything reminds me of you and my heart hurts because you're not here to help me through my day. I miss you so much and love you more than ever. So save me a place next to you on the other side and I'll save you the best candy from the Trick or Treat bag for your Birthday just like always! Still trying to make you proud Ann
