Think of Patsy often when I look at the quilt she gave me and other little gifts. She was a fun loving lady and when I hear Waltzing across Texas we think of Patsy and Ralph. Have lost track of Ralph would like to talk to him. Not sure where he is if he moved after Patsy passed.

She was a beautiful person. She made quilts for the needy that were amazing. She helped us so much by helping us design quilts and donated lots of fabric. She will be sadly missed.

Being friends for forty plus years with Patsy has been a "great" ride. Most recently she became my neighbor and this friendship will be greatly missed. She was my "go to person" Always ready for "Happy Hour" and never let me down with a crossword puzzle answer. Her absence as a "friend and neighbor" will be sorely missed. RIP Pat! Thinking of you Ralph and know how sorry we are that Pat is gone. We are here for you! My tears still overflow!

Sorry for the loss of your wife and companion, Ralph. Judging by where you’ve been and what you’ve done the past 32 years, I’d guess she was a great partner in this adventure called life. You’re in our thoughts as you grieve.
