Re: “‘Queen of Kitsch’ remembered for her warmth and wicked wit,” Feb. 5.
I was shocked, yesterday, when I went to Urban Empire to see Patricia. I was going to lend her my cell-phone when she went into the hospital for surgery - she didn’t have one, and wanted to be able to order in REAL food while there. The store was closed, and the notice on the door said it all: this one-of-a-kind business-woman gone forever.
Patricia had no time for the politically correct and the smarmy New Agers. She spoke her “wicked sense of humor” and it showed itself — from the front window to the back wall of her store.
There are many people more worthy of an early death than Patricia.
