Choochoo was my childhood friend, from Thomas Lafon to Woodson(jr. High).
She went to Booker T and I went to Cohen but we were still best friends.
We danced, we sang, we skated, we played street ball with the boys. Went out with the girls to college dances, in the hood. We lived life.
She had a bold soul.
What she wanted to do, she did.
I hoped that we would have crossed each other's pathes in the future, I know I will see her again.
I love her, she will be missed.
I know she knew her Maker.

man I where do I start. Pat and her girlfriends practicing the Jackson 5 dance moves in Ms. Hattie living room, her and Terry fussing (because of big sister know it all loving ways). I can think of so many memories from back in the day in the nolia projects, but for now it be just that memories of back in the day until we meet again.

Your lil brother Terry

Big sister, I wish you wouldn't have gone so soon. I wish we had more time together. The thought of not talking to you again is blowing my mind. But nevertheless enjoy your peace.
PS When Michael has his concert in heaven I know you're going to be there :-)

Being Terry's best friend for more than 40 years Patricia (Pat) was like my big sister also. She put me in check many times as well as having a ton of laughs together. There were days where I tried to prove to her that Prince was far better an entertainer than Micheal Jackson, but I couldn't fool her. She knew I was a big MJ fan also. I had not seen her in years but she knew I would always be her other lil brother. Have peaceful rest

Pat and I were like two peas in a pod. She complimented me and I her. She helped to inspire me to be the best person that I could be, and I would like to think that I inspired her as well. She turned me into a Jackson 5ive fan before I became a teenager, and I attended my first ever live concert because of her. Even though as adults, I didn't get to see her much, my love for her never changed and I missed her dearly. So, sleep on my friend and take your rest, til we meet again.
And to her kids, Cidney and Joshua, and her brothers, David and Terry and sister, Andrella, lean not on your own understanding, but in all your ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your path. Love you guys.

I have very fond memories of Pat back when I was in high school.
I always remember her being friendly, mo nonsense and a great example to all of her siblings. I always respected her and I loved the way she carried herself. I remember that she drove that Comet and I thought that she was the coolest.
I will never forget Pat.
I would like to send my condolences to the family. I will be praying for you during this difficult time.
