I am a former client of Patsy's when she was at the Richland Hills counseling center. She was such a blessing to me then and I often refer to her advice and insights to help others. I feel a great indebtedness to her. I just wanted to honor her memory here and I hope in some way this blesses her family.

My memories of Patsy are beautiful,compassionate, unconditional with her love. She was the example of a Godly woman and I pray that I can be like her. She was full of joy, even when I know that her suffering was great, she still had that beautiful smile. Her love for our God was so visible in every aspect of her life. I am a better person for having her in my life. Though I know she is at rest, my heart feels a deep loss.

Dearest John and Family,
Tho twas late in life that we reconnected ( we had last seen each other when we were around 12 at a family reunion and then at Grampa Johnson's funeral. We filled up more good times since 1998 til now than I can even put down - She and John cared greatly for my Mother - Patsy's Aunt Nell,,,,,and was with her when she passed. She and John also with me when I lost my beloved husband, Ken. She always was caring for other - never herself and a beautiful smile. Proud to call her cousin, friend, mentor and the love of Jesus she had to share.Rest in peace and remember what I told you in Feb when I last saw you."If you get to heaven before I do,,dig a hole and pull me through,"Love you,,,,,,,,,,,,,sympathy to her family for you have lost a wonderful wife, mom, grandmom and sister. Blessed to have known her,
Cousin, Sandy Fritz Anderson and family. At blupeacequilt@yahoo,com
