To the family of Ms. Lorice Patterson: Ms. Lorice was a very kind and gentle hearted person. She also walked around with a smile on her face when the times where good or bad. She was a great person to work with @ TAP, she would sometimes come to my office just to say hello...because that was kind of person she was. She will be missed by so many but she will also be in our heart.

Lorice - a quiet, shy and faithful person. Her death has come as a shock to both her family and her friends in the Christian congregation. We will miss her smile! Our deepest sympathy goes out to her family at this time of sorrow. May we all find comfort in the Bible's promise of a resurrection at which time we will be reunited (here on earth) with Lorice once again! John 5:28; Rev. 21:3,4.

Friends are like snowflake

Each sparkles
in a different way--
some are playful,
some refined.

But,unlike fragile
snowflakes that fade
when the sun appears,
friends grow,
yet more beautiful,
with every,
passing year !
