Aunt Patsy was one of the sweetest women I ever knew. Though I've been away for many years, I will always remember her spirit and love.

Sharla I am so very sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing. I so enjoyed the time I worked with her at the bank. I know how close y’all were. Always enjoyed the times I would run into you and be able to catch up with how your Mom was doing. Prayers that your warm memories will help you in the coming days.
