Miss you, Isabelle Patton.
Isabelle was part of the Over The Rainbow family for over twenty years. During that time, she managed the store with such a caring attitude towards all her staff, many of whom became lifelong friends. She was unconditionally loyal, hardworking and so much fun to be around. It is hard to put into words my deep feelings for Isabelle.
She marched to her own beat, such a unique person. She was well read, opinionated, and so creative. She was passionate about the LGBTQ community and had a fierce love of animals.
I cannot imagine not getting her phone calls again checking up on me and the family or just singing me a song in that squeaky beautiful voice of hers. We shared our feelings and we had such an honest and true lasting friendship. I will miss her infectious laugh and beautiful smile.
I love her and she will always be in my heart.
Love,
Joel Carman
