Thank you Patsy for all the good you did for others throughout your life. Love...Jimmy

Mark, Eddie and I are keeping you, your Father, and your daughters in prayer during this time of grieving. As you know, all too well, your Mother was a precious woman. My favorite memory is one Eddie told me many years ago. When he was shopping for my engagement ring, he didn't go to large chain jewelry stores; he went to Valdese Jewelers where your Mother was employed. She offered to help him, he gladly accepted her guidance ,and chose the ring I still cherish and proudly wear today. I wish...
