Patricia “Patty” I. Leal March 23, 1971 – October 12, 2013 If tears could build a stairway and thoughts a memory lane I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. No Farewell words were spoken No time to say good-bye You were gone before I knew it And only God knows why. My heart's still active in sadness And secret tears still flow What it meant to lose you No one can ever know. But now I know you want us To mourn for you no more To remember all the happy times Life still has much in store. Since you'll never be forgotten I pledge to you today A hallowed place within my heart Is where you'll always stay. Patty enjoyed life to the fullest being.

Patty, the Diva of the crowd! I will miss you very much! The crew and I got together and we were talking about all the memories and we all laughed at one in particular, See if this rings a bell, "Out shopping with the kids and then make time for a power nap then BEAUTIFY TIME" And then when we would wait for you to come out so we can leave, we would see Bling,a radiant glow, and beauty! Even when we would just be outside chilling with the crew, you would demand that Gilbert bring the music to start the dancefloor! I want to thank you for introducing me to the gym we went to and Zumba, where we would enjoy every minute and have a good sweat! Thank you Patty for listening to me when I was down and discouraged! I wil miss you dearly and no one will ever be the center of attention like you were! Watch over us and i'll miss you!!!

To the Leal and Ibarra family, I am sorry for your loss. I pray that God give you the peace, comfort, and strength you need at this time. I love each one of you and I am here if you need anything.
My beautiful cousin Patty Leal, left us to quickly. I know she is no longer suffering but having a blast in heaven...I imagine her dancing with God and all the angels maybe even doing a line dance...until we meet again Patty, save a dance for me....
Love, Jess

Patricia & Rene A. Ortiz
Herbie, Kassy, Herbie Jr, Leal and Ibarra families my deepest condolences. I had the pleasure of meeting Patty when she started working at Mercy Hospital. She befriended me and we bonded instantly. We experienced many happy times together. One of those memories that I will never ever forget is that she was right there with me when my son Rene was born. She was the first one to see him and I will never ever forget that. When she moved on to UISD we still kept in close contact. Even if we didnt have constant communication, I could just call her and we would pick up right where we left off. I will her miss her beautiful smile and cheefulness. She is now a Beautiful Angel in Heaven. God Bless her Family and Friends.
