Danny, Rick, and Vicky,
I am deeply saddened by the news of Patsy's passing. My
heart goes out to each of you and to John III and Katherine. May God hold each
of you close and give you comfort. Mere words can not give you the comfort

have many fond memories of Patsy and of the neighborhood while we were in our
childhood. Patsy always smiled and was very kind to all. I send you my deepest
sympathy and love at this time. Please rest assured that Patsy has taken here
rightful place at the side of the Lord in Heaven and is smiling and sending her
love to each of you. May God Bless each of you and shower his graces upon
you.

My sincere condolences go out to the Rohrer and McCraine family. I remember
Patsy growing up in our neighborhood and in school. Many in the HHS Class of
1979 have been praying for her, and she will be greatly missed by all who knew
her. She was a kind and thoughtful person. You all are in our thoughts and

Patsy...
God loaned Patsy to us here on earth for a short while. Just remember the good
times you had with her and when you feel sad...and you will quite a lot...just
remember a time when you laughed together at some silly something that you did
or said. It makes the pain a little more bearable. I know this for a fact.
She is all around you in spirit, but God has called her home to be with Him. He
needed another sweet voice to praise and sing for Him. May He give you all the
comfort that only He can give. We love you so very much and we are so sorry for
your loss.
My Dear Sweet Nephew & Family. 2009-11-03 17:43:43

Patsy was such a blessing to us both and she will be missed very much. We are
both praying for you all every day and may God send his comforter to this
wonderful family. It was such a humbling experience to celebrate such a
wonderful and amazing life with her gracious and loving family. I can see where
all of her great attributes come from. God bless !!
