So sorry to hear about Patricia, I know this is a very difficult time for all of you. May God’s comforting arms surround each of you

So sadden by Patricia’s death, she was my cousin and closer to my age. She had such a easy going disposition, as well as a great smile and infectious laugh. She was so proud of her girls and to be a grandparent and enjoy having a grandson. That’s what made her so special. The love she had for others. Her love as a wife, mother and grandmother. She was honest to your face and told it just like it was. There was a bond between her and her sisters that could never be broken. Maybe stretched at times as sisters don’t always agree but when life gets you down, you can always count on your sisters being there for you. She will be sadly missed.
We love and will miss you always…. See you again one day.
Love
Ande, Chris and Izzy
Aunt Pat was the nicest person who never thought or spoke of anyone in a negative way. She will be missed. Love RL and Katie Reese
I would like to thank everyone on behalf of our family. We are so thankful to the almost 200 people that came to honor the amazing person that we had the pleasure of her being our wife, Mom, Gramma, Mother in Law, Sister, Aunt and dear friend. For those who could not make it, your thoughts, prayers and the beautiful flowers are appreciated. Our hearts are absolutely broken, but she is no longer suffering and that is the only thing that matters. Until we see her again, she will be in our thoughts, prayers and wonderful memories.
Pat, your family will greatly miss you and we will do our best to help your daughter, Amanda. You are greatly loved by your girls, grandson and husband. Your family will hold you dear to their hearts. Your will be remembered always. May you now rest in God’s arms.

Not a day goes by that I do not think of my mom, hardly a minute actually. My sisters and I are truly blessed by being her daughters. She taught us so much, not only by telling us the important things in life, but by leading by example. She never tried to be our friend, it happened naturally over time with each of us. We each had our own special relationship with her. Everyday, I just want to call her and tell her about various things that have happened. I miss her more than I could ever put into words.
We love you…as you love us.
