"So many great memories with you, your brothers and mom and dad I have while growing up. Made many trips to visit and spend time with y’all. Such great family! Glad I was able to see you a few years back. I will always cherish those memories and continue to keep up with your brother Larry. Until we meet in heaven Patsy, thanks for the joy you brought into my life.

"Though words cannot heal the pain, may the memories be a guiding light bringing comfort and strength during this difficult time. Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal. Our prayers are with you & your family.
You have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing. "2 Timothy 4:7, 8
