Not sure what to say?

I am sorry for your loss. Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. She was at the children's clinic , when I had my allergy test and shots.

Sending my deepest sympathies to Patsy’s family. Patsy was a joy to be around. Peace be with you.

Such a lovely and sweet lady. I hadn't seen her in many years but she left a positive impression on me.

To know Patsy was to love her

So sorry to hear about your grandmother. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Remember often you would talk about her kindness, thoughtful ways. You will miss her but think of the sweet memories shared. Think of you often

I’m Patsy’s sister in law married to my late husband Milton her only brother. I was only 16 when I met her way back in the 50’s. With me in Ohio and Patsy in North Carolina we were fortunate if we saw each other once a year.

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!
