We had been neighbors for years, and only visited in passing by conversations.
But in these short visits we bonded and
became close friends. I will miss our
sidewalk visits as women of Faith. God
bless her family and friends. You are
all in my prayers. God bless.
Sincerely,
Theresa

Mommy,I will never have sufficient words to express all that you mean to me. As I shared in our waning days together, I am honored to be YOUR daughter. When the world has seen my BEST, they have indeed seen you and Daddy. As a woman. Wife, mother and person of faith,you've given me the best gift, an outstanding example. As an adult. I assumed I'd learn everything there was to learn from you. I was incorrect! Even as you faced your final journey, you taught me courage! When you live your life with integrity and love, you can face Jesus with your head held high! I will forever cherish your last words to me, "I love you, baby!" While you are absent from the body, I take solace that you are now present with our Lord! I LOVE you, Mommy!

I am so blessed to have had you as my mother. The life lessons you and daddy taught me have made me the man, husband and father I am today. I know the sun will shine a little brighter because you are in heaven watching over me. May God keep you in his loving arms. I miss you and will always cherish your memory.

Mommy, Oh how we miss you. Oh how I will miss your sweet voice when I would call you on the phone. Thank you for first being my mother and then later my friend. Thank you for all of the priceless lessons that only a mother can impart to her daughters. Thank you for showing me what a girl,young lady and woman should be. Thank you for standing up to truth when it would have been more comfortable to ignore it- Thank you for introducing me to faith- for it is that faith which I must now pull upon to help me through this loss.... Oh how we miss you mommy....Sleep now and know your rich legacy lives on...

Forever, Daughter, Carolynn Patricia

We often hear the saying that "It takes a village to raise a child." For those of us who grew up on Webster St, the loss of each parent is a little like losing part of out own family. Mrs Patterson will be missed and mourned, and my prayers are with all of you.
