Belinda & Family
Although no words can really help to ease the loss you bear, just know that you are very close in every thought and prayer.
It will be the little things
that you will remember,
the quiet moments,
the smiles, the laughter.
And although it may seem
hard right now,
it will be the memories
of these little things
that help to push
away the pain
and bring the smiles
back again.

When I think of Patsy, I think of all the good times our families spent together growing up and how she treated my daughter as her own grandchild. She will be truly missed, but she's going to be reunited with some awesome people.
