I have so many memories of us. You are the one that gave me my nickname Patty Retum..I would always stay with you and sis in the summer working in the tobacco, hay slop the hogs for 50 cents an hour. But you made me a farm girl.. One thing I will always remember you letting me drive your new Volkswagen and I never knew new how to drive a standard. You had enough faith in me to drive.. I will miss the fun times with you and sis. I love you and will miss you. My heart is broke to lose you both in one day. But you both earned your wings and the Good Lord took you together. No more pain for you both. I´m not saying good bye but I will say see you later. You both are with the ones already in Heaven I will miss you and sis so much. But I have some of the greatest memories with you both. I love you
