Tony and LeeAnn

I am so sorry to hear about your Mom and Dad...I loved "Gravy" so much when our dads coached together and I always thought your mom was extra special b/c I don't know if you knew it or not but she and I had the same birthday...I always think of her every year on our birthday...My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family...Tony and LeeAnn, my daddy will help you with absolutely ANYTHING that you need!

My heart goes out to you at this time and in the days ahead.

My husband (Delmar Thompson) and I were students at Tech with Glenda and Pat and thought they were very special people. Our hearts go out to you in your loss.

Dear Patterson Family:

I was a freshman at La. Tech with Pat and think we graduated together in 1957. Pat was a gentleman the first time I saw him and everytime thereafter. I just thought he was one of those special people. I may have known Glenda but am not sure.

I am truly sorry for your great loss.

He was a Coach at Byrd High School when I was there. He was a wonderful person and I am so sorry for what has happened.

Please accept my deepest sympathies.

May it comfort you to know that death cannot diminish the important ways your loved one touched your life, that grief cannot take away the happiness you shared, that sorrrow will fade in time...but love remains forever.
