Aunt Pat will be very missed I loved her very much. She was always such a wonderful Christian lady a perfect example of what a Christian should be. So loving and kind and always had a kind word and a hug for you, Her and Uncle Arlie were always so ready to talk about Jesus and made you feel so loved and made you feel like you was important to them, I am so happy for them that they are together again though up there with Jesus and all our other family that is there, So till we meet again Aunt Pat I love you and we will see you all soon, Love and prayers for Lisa and all your family love you.

Aunt Pat was great, funny and loving person. When you were around her, you felt loved!
Every time we’re seen her she would mention something about Jesus coming back. He seen fit to take her home. She’s got one up on us ~ she’s at home now. No more pain, or anything to worry about.
Aunt Pat you were so loved here on this side and will be missed by those who knew and loved you.
We just need to be ready to go when it’s our time ~ that’s what she would want.

Aunt Pat was a precious lady. She was there the day Uncle Arlie married us almost 28 years ago! I’m thankful for the fun times at the creek with her catching minnows in her skirt for us kids. Aunt Pat was a wonderful role model of a true Christian lady! She will be missed dearly.
