There's just no words to describe our relationship. You were my best friend and I loved you with all my heart. I will be lost here without you. I know you are at peace up in Heaven with Jesus and all the rest of your family, that gives me comfort to help with my broken heart. Watch over me and my babies and grandbabies until we are reunited in Heaven. I miss you so very much. Watch over us as we lay you to rest today next to Pappaw.🌻♥️

You were always so good to me and my children. The world has lost such a beautiful person, though she lives on in the hearts and memories of many! May God bring comfort to your family and friends in this difficult time.
I am so glad that I had privilege of getting to spend the last 7 months with u on a day basic and getting to know the wonderful spirit you mom and grandmother had. I love her from the day that we met. She would always tell me that I was the angel sent her but really she was the angel that the lord sent to me. She was one of a kind lady and she will truly be miss.
Grandma Patterson was always so very sweet and always welcomed me. She made you feel like you were always part of the family and for that I am so very thankful! Such a beautiful woman inside and out! May her family find some peace knowing she was an amazing woman and touched the hearts of many people! Rest peacefully Grandma!
Bella and I loved and respected ''Mom'' and enjoyed her kindness. She will be missed. An amazing woman and an amazing life. Rest in love and peace.
Thank you for the kitchen talks while we worked through the harvest season. Your life lessons on how to be a strong woman and watching you set the example will be remembered for a lifetime. It was an honor to be called your friend. I will miss you.
''You're always in our hearts and so deeply loved and missed''
