Patsy was a very kind lady, it was always nice to see her weekly at the shop when my Dad did her hair always a smile and always asked when I shampooed her Amy what's going on any stories she was funny. She will never be forgotten, and her n Mr Clouse can make all that good music together again.

Gaye and family:
I hope you will remember me from a long time ago when you and your family lived on 8th street and I lived one block down from you. We were good friends in school and at home. Your Mother always made the very best jelly roll and you and I watched her roll it out many of times. She was a wonderful pretty woman and I am sorry for your loss. Prayers are with you at this time in your life.
