Jimmy, words are so hard to find although I feel sympathy for you at this time, I also know what a wonderous love you shared with Patti,
so I offer you a quote from Max Luccado, EACH ONE OF US, MUST RELEASE THE HAND OF ONE WE LOVE, TO THE HAND OF ONE WE HAVE NOT SEEN....and I pray that as Patti took God's hand, he has put His Mighty Righteous Right Arm around you to carry you through this difficult time. With Love, Jamie (Bradburn) Cook

My heart is breaking for you. Know that you are in my thoughts, prayers and especially my heart. I know and feel your pain. Just remember that Patti is no longer suffering any pain and she is now your guardian angel. When you need to talk, please give me a call.

When I knew Patti she was one of my dear friends from Erwin High School as we shared our teenage years. She was a lovely person and we enjoyed listening to the Carpenters music together.She really loved their music and we would do homework together with that music playing in the background. I will always remember her sweet smile and wonderful laugh. May God bless all those whose lives she touched.

It is amazing to think of all the lives Patti so lovingly touched, inspired, and made better her brief time here on Earth. Brad and I are praying for Jim and all those who loved Patti.

Mrs Brown was my fourth grade teacher. She was one of the greatest teachers that I had. She not only taught the basics but she also taught her students how to push themselves to perform to the best of their abilities. She was one of those special teachers that you could turn to if you needed anything and you always knew that with her bubbly personality and how she always had that pep in her step. I can honestly say I am proud she taught me. You will be greatly missed Mrs Brown. The Lord called home a great teacher. Prayers for the family. May he ease your pain during this difficult time.
