Pat blessed me many times over with her rendition of "How Great Thou Art". The sound of an angel.I went to Cane Run Baptist with them, and her singing has been one of my fondest memories. May the family find peace in your memories.

Mrs. Collinsworth and family, I am

you from my daughter, Carol Roser's

Mrs. Collinsworth, Lynn, and Debbie --

I am so sorry for your loss and am praying for your family as you deal with the loss of sweet Pat. I am grateful for the opportunity to have known her and for her beautiful voice as she sang in our church so long ago. I was only a kid then but one of the things I loved most about Sunday church was when the three of you girls would sing. And Mrs. Collingworth . . . your German chocolate cake in Sunday School. Great memories that put a smile on my face as I think of them. And that bring tears to my eyes knowing that the voice has gone quiet here on Earth. Oh but in heaven . . . what rejoicing there is as Pat joins the heavenly choir of angels.

I will continue to pray for all of you for strength, faith, courage and hope as you move through the coming days.

Much love to you all and may God be with you every step of this journey.
