Patsy was a loving wife and mother and just simply loved life. We shared many times good and bad during our friendship. She was loving, caring and supportive. Patsy loved her children more than anything on this earth. Jerry, when she met you she was so happy. You made her life complete. You were the love of her life. I know she is in heaven and will be missed so much here on earth...but we will see her again. I love you my dear friend. Rest in peace.

I was so sorry to hear of Patsy's sudden passing. She was a wonderful mother, stepmother and grandmother. She will be missed.

We have missed seeing the Tointons in our Good Sams group, and have thought of them often. Patsy was the first member of that group to welcome us.
The Lord has lost a good witness here on earth, now that Patsy has gone on to her reward, and we know that she is overjoyed to be in heaven.
Our prayer for her loved ones left here on earth without her is that, when the grief seems to be too great - especially at those moments - they will feel surrounded by the Holy Spirit and feel peace to combat the pain of grief.

The Lord has lost a good witness here on earth, now that Patsy has gone to her reward. I know she is overjoyed to be in heaven. Our prayer for her loved ones left here without her is that whenever the grief seems too much to bear, that - especially in those moments - they will be surrounded by the Holy Spirit, and experience peace to combat the grief.
We have missed the Tointons in our Good Sam camping group.
With Love in Christ,
