Not sure what to say?

I’m saddened to hear of Patsy’s death but she lived a good, long life and she is not suffering anymore and I can’t wait to see her again in heaven, God willing. She had such a sweet, welcoming spirit and reminded me of my nana, Betty Davis, her sister in law. I didn’t know Patsy very well but felt a strong connection to her for some reason. My condolences to her family and friends.

“To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.”

2 Corinthians 5:8

I am so sorry to read this. Although it has been a long time since I was patient with Dr Sarazen and miss Patsy, I have remembered her sweet face with kind words. She was a wonderful lady. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Kenneth, Phil and families, Angie and I are so very sorry for your loss. I remember spending a lot of time with Janet at your house. Patsy and John always treated me like family. Lot's of wonderful memories. I loved them very much.
Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers!
Diane Washburn Hill and Angie

To Kenneth & Linda, Phil & Lynn, the grandchildren,and great-grandchildren, please find comfort in the coming days and weeks ahead. Please cherish your wonderful memories each of you have shared with Patsy. I too have sweet memories of my cousin (Patsy). May God wrap his loving arms around each of you.

Aunt Patsy was a beloved member of our family. May her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren find peace, and comfort now and in the days to come.
