The Lyric

This book is a collection of stories about my life with my best friend, Patricia (Patti) Moede. As you read, I hope you come to learn or appreciate more deeply what a wonderfully unique person and rare friend Patti was and continues to be. For those of you who were lucky enough to know her, I hope these stories bring you closer to her and make you even more grateful for knowing her. For those of you not privileged to have known Patti, I hope you come to learn two things. First, that there is a fine line between friendship and kinship and when those two worlds merge something magical happens. Second, we are all capable of giving more, doing more, and being our best selves by unconditionally loving the life we were given.
