As Patsy's interim pastor for one and a half years while at Newell, I discovered a lady with a cheerful countenance, a warm smile, a loving heart and a sweet spirit. That was Patsy. She and her three sisters lifted up our Lord with their beautiful voices of praise through the years. She was a blessing to all of us. She is gone from our sight (absent from the body) but Patsy is in His presence (present with the Lord)! I'm thankful that our Father allowed our paths to cross.
Our love and prayers are with each family member.

My heart is feeling a void, my sympathy and love goes out to Patsy's family. We will miss her so much. She was such a joy to know, I'm glad God placed her in my life when he did. We had wonderful times and memories I will cherish forever.
