Aunt Dimple and Family,
I am Claudine's Granddaughter and Ricky's Daughter. I am so sorry to hear of your loss, I only met Patsy a few times in my life, but all of my Uncles and Aunt and my Father spoke so fondly of her. My Mamaw loved Patsy and is saddened by her passing. I am sure I speak for the whole McInnis family when I say that all of our thoughts and prayers go out to you.

Dear Mrs. Jennings, Glenn and family, I want to express my sincere condolences to all of you for the loss of Patsy. A flood of memories came back to me when I just got the word tonight. We were friends mainly in Junior High School when she moved to 47th Street in Meridian. I grew up on Poplar Springs Drive. I remember driving my parents' car to her house when I first got my license. When I got back into my car as I was leaving after visiting Patsy, I saw that I had mowed down the hedges at her house since I had parked right in the middle of them. I'm not sure Mr. and Mrs. Jennings were laughing, but Patsy and I sure were. I last saw her a few years ago in the bathroom at a restaurant in Jackson, Ms. She was the same beautiful and kind person I had always remembered. The world is a better place because of Patsy and Heaven just got better too.
May God Bless all of you,
