Patsy gave me my first job related to education when she asked me to tutor Derek while I was still in high school. Thanks to her and her wisdom I'm still at it 32 years later. I also had the pleasure of working with her and her beloved Paul at Pacolet Elem. and Cowpens Middle. What a precious family. I can't begin to imagine how many students' lives have been positively affected by this family. Much love to this family.
