I met Pat through my sister Joy. Pat seemed to have boundless energy. She was a very sweet lady and loved her husband and children very much. Pat will be missed. Rebekah Jennings Yarborough

Pat and I met at Springs swimming pool when our boys, Scott & Eric were about 2 years. She befriended me right away! We were very close for so many years until Pat moved back to Greenville, and of course distance made a difference in our not getting to see one another as we did in Fort Mill. But, I thought about her all the time. And I missed her so much! Pat loved the Lord with all of her heart, and she loved her Ken, Kent & Scott with all of her heart too!! We will see her again in heaven. God bless you all
