When I look at Pat's picture my eyes fill with tears. I can't believe I will come home and not drive up to the house on Gaylord and see her again. When the original house burned I felt terrible because of the memories I had of all that happened there. Sifting through the ashes I saw so much history of good times. I know Pat will not want me to be crying. I spent the day here in Brazil cutting the lawn at the church with a sickle. I know she would approve.She doesn't have to know I was crying as it did it. She was one of a kind. I will never forget her and neither will Herm and our children. She was big in our lives as was her family and children. In fact I guess Diane sang the same song today that she sang several years ago at our Gary's baptism. Our thoughts are with you Bill. May the Gospel and the wonderful memories you have of a remarkable life well lived sustain you and yours. We will come and see yu all in March when we come home to the good old USA again. Love Herm and Sherrill Funk

Dear Arnett Family,

Pat was awesome. She always supported me and stood by me no matter what the circumstances were at the time in my life. I will always remember her singing at my baptism. My wife and I were so blessed to have our wedding dinner at her home. She was just an outstanding Den Mom too. She had a pretty wild bunch of boys with the Youngdales and Alfredos in tow. I still remember her getting after me after I shot off a BB gun in her house (I think it struck David, sorry about that!) She saved me several times when the Arnett dog (Brownie I think) would jump on me and crush me till she came to my aid. I will never forget the words of encouragement and love she gave me when I was at one of the lowest points of my life. I always thought it was funny how her and my mom would just burst into each other's houses without ever knocking. Our prayers and thoughts are with the Arnett family. Love, The Gary Funk Family

Hello Arnett Family,

I am sorry for your loss. Reading about Patricia certainly put me in mind of a fine person, interested in the welfare and education of others. Being a mother of 7 and grandmother of 19, she most surely have had plenty of love. The memories made with her are to be cherished and held close. As time goes by, reflecting on these memories will warm your hearts and make missing her not quite so painful. Go to our Heavenly Father, he will sustain you. Psalms 55:22 " Cast thy burden upon the Lord and he shall sustain thee; he shall never suffer the righteous be moved"

My family will keep you and your family in our prayers.
