Johnny,Dennis and Peggy, When Sandra called me, it took a minute to realize what she was talking about. It wasn't that long ago I talked to Aunt Patsy by phone. The shock is still very real. I just wanted to let you know that we will miss her greatly and she will always be in our memories. She was a very joyfull person and was always there for Mom. They shared a very special relationship. I'm sorry that we can't be there with you now. Just know that she is now with Uncle JB in a much better place. Robby,Vicki, Julie and Robin
