To all of Patsy's family...I am forever thankful and blessed to have been fortunate enough to have your beloved Patsy in my family's lives. She was truly an amazing woman who we loved dearly and will always miss. We always knew she loved us and especially Tyler who to him ... his Patsy was like going to Grammy's house. Patsy was always there after a hard day with an ear...some advise and always a comforting hug. She was truly a guiding light for me in so many ways throughout those years but none more then to help me raise my son. Please know you all are in my thoughts and prayers

Debbie, Angel & Alan,
Please know that my thoughts & prayers are with you at this difficult time. It's never easy losing a loved one, let alone a beloved parent. I hope that you can take comfort in the knowledge that she is with Jesus and all her loved ones who are rejoicing in Heaven with her. We'll all be reunited and how sweet that sight will be! I have many memories of my Aunt Pat and her welcoming personality - she sure loved her family! She was precious to my dad, Clayton. He adored & delighted in spending time with his sister. Covering your entire family with prayers of peace & comfort. ~ Karen Steward Burrell
