I just saw that Pat had passed away. She was always a good friend. As a child she was friends with my mom and dad until their deaths. She was our friend as long as I can remember. She gave me as a child a doll that was my favorite, I named her Patsy. Patsy went everywhere with me. I was telling my husband of life time look backs that included Pat. She is missed. I bet she is laughing, singing praises to the Lord, along with my parents. She is home with the lord.
Oh, I always loved Miss Patsy, so much! Saw her at Barnes and of course, at church. She was a dear and I know you all will miss her greatly. May the Lord’s peaceful presence fill your hearts and His comforting love surround you as you grieve.
Love your family!

I was thinking about Pat just a few days ago. She went to high school with oldest sister in Wichita Falls. I am also from there. She and my sister were in the same grade. We sang in the choir with Pat, and I sometimes played for her when she sang solos. My sister passed away in 2013, and I was wondering if Pat was still alive. So glad I happened to check the obituaries and see hers. We enjoyed getting to know her.

Love y’all,
