That's too bad atleast he lived until he was 90 RIP

I'm sure Patricia feels terrible. It's never an okay time to lose a loved one, although I will say that I would have loved to have had my parents here that long. Prayers to him and his loved ones.

:rip:

Patty lost her mom at a young age. I am sure her dad was a rock for her during that time.

I didn't know that. I'm sure that experiencing tragedy at a young age had something to do with making her such a strong, independent woman.

She lost her mother to a brain aneurysm when she was 12. I think having 3 sisters and a brother also helped her cope with the tragedy.

I'm really sorry to hear this. My prayers go to Patricia and her family. :(

She suffered of depression for many years after her mother died. She talks about it extensively in her book as well as in many interviews. I remember her saying that the death of her mother taught her how to be self-reliant.

Her father was a very respected writer and quite a kind and remarkable man. No wonder Patty is his daughter.

R.I.P Chuck!!!!

Rest in peace
