I knew Patsy in high school. Then later on in our lives our paths crossed again. I was a better person for knowing her. And, knowing the type of person she was, Patsy would want us to celebrate the life she had. She was a joy and is still bringing joy in the afterlife, I am sure.

I remember Patsy from High School. She was always so full of life and laughter. Iwas new to Macon, and she was so kind and friendly. You never forget someone who makes you feel so welcome. I haven't seen her in years, but the many messages tell a lovely story of her life. I know she will be greatly missed by friends and family. How wonderful to know of her Faith and it's blessing to so many. My deepest condolences are mixed with joy knowing her life goes on with the Lord. Sincerely, Gina Robinson

I went to high school with your mother at A.L. Miller. I was saddened to hear about her accident. I remembber her as always having a smile on her face and so full of life. She was a varsity cheerleader and rooted the fans and team on through our wins and losses. The lord has another beautiful angel at his side. Rely on his strength and he will get you through this difficult time.

To the Nicholas Family, words can't express the emotions being felt right now over the loss of an "Angel" at River Edge! Patsy showed the meaning of Customer Service by providing the best Care, Welfare,Safety, and Security to all the consumers and staff at RiverEdge! If only we could've clone her work Ethics,fist at work and last to leave, and caring spirit toward others! Rest in peace and we shall meet again some day! It was a pleasure working with her from 2006-2009 as Director at CSU/Fulton mill road. Melvin Harris,Director Consumer Relations

Patsy and I were in the Guiding Light Bible study class together at Ingleside Baptist Church and I remember her many times sharing with us how much she loved the Lord Jesus Christ and how much her personal relationship with Him meant to her. She seemed to love singing in the choir too. She and her wonderful, caring, bubbly personality will be missed but I look forward to seeing her in heaven again one day!

I met Patsy about 14 years ago, when I worked at Macon Mall. She was such a wonderful lady. She never met a stranger and made everyone feel like family. She always remembered the names of my children and always asked about my family situations. Patsy was always full of love. Her loss leaves a void in many. Many prayers being said for her friends and family.

I would like to address this to Patsy, Pete and Mike (Patsy was like a second Mom to me). When I heard the news of her loss it was gripping and painful... While I haven't seen you in several years I've thought of you often and regret that I did not have a chance to say Goodbye. You were good to me and my Dad. You loved me, my brother and sister unconditionally. You listened to me and gave me great advice, you supported me and reached out to me when i needed a friend and called me often when I lived on the west coast. Sometimes..it was just to say hi...other times..you would be an ear and sounding board for me. You cared so much about me and I'll always love you for that. You gave of yourself to me and countless others as a nurse,friend and companion. You were awesome. Thanks for being a special part of my life that I will always treasure. You made me laugh and your loss has made me cry. I know that you are in a much better place with our God. Pete, Mike and friends...please accept my condolence. I will always remember that warm "smile" Patsy. With Love, Mark

I have such fond memories of Patsy from A.L.Miller Sr. High School. She was one of the very few and first girls that went out of their way to welcome me and befriend me as I, a scared Black Girl started going to the predominantly all white Miller Senior High School for Girls back in the Fall of 1967. We both were in Miss Rita Long's homeroom class together as well as some other classes. She seem to always walk fast...always in a hurry to get to cheerleader practice or somewhere. The other students loved and admired her as well. I am so glad, blessed and fortunate to have met her with her ever present and ever ready smile for me and others during the first critical and crazy years of integration. Thank You Patsy for your friendship and tolerance and great manners. May God lift you up where you belong, and may the Nicholas family have peace, love and strength that comes from God and from each other during this difficult time of bereavement. Hold on to God's Unchanging hands. She is well with our Lord and Savior.

Our lives were all a little brighter for having known Patsy. Her passing now makes our lives a little darker, for the light that Patsy brought was genuine, original, and honest. I will miss our long talks about life and love, about animals and the value of true friendship. My sympathies to her brothers, as she spoke of you often and with deep love.

I thank the Lord for the privilege of knowing Patsy. She and my Dad were together for many years as a couple. She was always very kind and she definitely had the gift of encouragement. She loved me and my brother and sister as if we were her own children. As I sat in my study yesterday I was looking through some old pictures and some books she had given me through the years; one of my favorites was a Bible she gave me before I went off to seminary in North Carolina. She wrote in the front of that Bible encouraging me in the work of the Lord Jesus Christ. I have kept that Bible on my desk throughout my ministry. Thank you Patsy for the role model and mentor you were to my life. I will never forget all that you did for me and my family. I will always hold a special place in my heart for you. I love you dearly.

I look forward to seeing you again one day in heaven. We will never forget you!

Patsy worked for me when I first opened my company on Walnut st in 1970. She was a hard worker and often the last one to leave. We became good friends and she was always a very sweet young lady. I am deeply saddened to hear of her death and am praying she is happy now with the Lord. My wife has a little dog named " Cookie " as well and she too is very special to us all. My prayers also reach out to the rest of her family.

Patsy, you were there one minute and then you were gone. It has been hard for those who worked with you side by side everyday to think that you won't be coming back. Our tears continue to fall. I know that you are in a better place, cause God has always been in your life. Your precious children (puppies) that have passed before you have all been waiting for you to arrive and I am sure that they were there to greet you. I will miss your smile and our long conversations. Rest in Peace my dear friend!

Patsy was such a sweet, caring person. I met her in the 8th grade at Miller Jr. High School, and I have seen and talked with her recently. I saw the wreck shortly after it happened, and I was shocked to later hear that Patsy was involved. My thoughts and prayers are with all of her family. I know that a beautiful light has gone out for all of you. I'm sure she will be missed by so many people whose lives she touched. Renee Payton
