Patricia Ann Drown

If I could I would thank you for all the wonderful memories and mostly for all the laughter. You had such a unique gift of making people feel special, at least you made me feel that way. I felt so welcomed and truly loved just for being me. You never judged (outloud). I was thinking about you again today, not for any particular reason, just remembering and missing you. You were one of only a few people who remained in my cheering section over the years, always ready to encourage me to leave...

Pat,

You were a blessing in my life that came to me with perfect timing. You shared your time, family, attitude, views, enthusiasm, encouragement, positivity, and most of all your love. The memory of your sweet loving kindness will fill the hole in my heart over time. May God's grace bless your wonderful Gary and Lovely girls as time passes knowing that you are with them in spirit and in a better place. My Love Always, Kim

Pat was generous in so many ways; her care and creativity poured into everything she did. She gave of herself without reservation and with true humility. Pat was whimsical and witty; a gifted artist and visual creator. She was a loving step-mother, whose memory and gifts I will cherish.

Sending sympathy and prayers to Gary and Pat's family as they adjust to Pat's move to Heaven. She was such a bright inspiration and example to many. She now has her wings and a bright star in Heaven. Bless her always. LaVonna Goudie

God bless her. What a wonderful person she was. She was such a help to myself and all of us in quilting class. And she made our class so much fun. Class just isn't the same without her.

Love and prayers to she and her family.

Pat will be missed at the quilting class, the sanctuary, the tea time, the supper table. Her wit and charm and love sustained us through many years. Her courage and example inspire us for years to come.

I was lucky to have Pat come into our lives as a second mom when she married Gary and she busted the myth that step mothers are evil. It seemed that there was nothing practical or creative that she couldn't do all the while accomplishing things in her easy going, matter of fact way. She was gracious, funny, loving, the consummate friend and ever faithful. We all loved her and being with her, and she'll be in our hearts and memories forever.
Love, Cathy and Mark

It's always hard to say "goodby"

So many wonderful memories of a well lived life! Parent, friend, teacher (with outstanding handwriting :)) who gave us the gifts of love and laughter, while teaching charity and generosity. A lady who could open her home as easily as she opened her heart. I/we will miss you each and everyday and wish you grace and peace. All our love always, Dave, Paula, Phoenix and Rachel Jackman
