Leslie and Nathan. Long time no see. I did bump into your mother a couple of years ago in Hot Springs. It was very nice seeing her again, since it had been many years since I had last.
I don't have to tell you what your mother meant to me. As you know, she was a mentor and friend during those wonderful high school days so long ago. I have nothing but fond memories of her and the role she played in my life and the lives of so many of my friends. She will be missed by many. I treasure her friendship, and will miss her wit and wonderful sense of humor. Ed French...

Nathan and Leslie--Very, very sorry to hear of your loss. Patsy was a wonderful mom, teacher, and friend. She was always good to me. I loved her personality and sense of humor. I hope you guys and all the other family and friends can have some peace. The three of you were so close and supportive of each other.
My deepest condolence.

Such a wonderful person; she was truly a treasure. So blessed to have her as not only a teacher but a friend as well.
I am so sad to hear about PA! Not only was she one of my favorite teachers, but she was a good friend to us. I remember we all went to her house after our Senior Prom. We just loved hanging out with her. I am so glad I was one of her students and that she was our cheerleading sponsor.
Your mother was such a gracious lady, delightful to be with, and a wonderful mother and grandmother. We know you all will miss her a lot and we want you to know that we are with you tomorrow in spirit. Love, Tom and Juliane
A truly inspiring educator and person from a

Leslie and family,
I am so sorry for your loss.
I really enjoyed her classes in high school.
May God comfort you in your sorrow.

Very sorry for you and your family in the loss of your Mother. I thought a great deal of your Mother while we were in school. Very cool lady..
So sorry to hear of Mrs. Anderson's passing, and I send my sincere condolences to her family. I had the privilege of being a student of Mrs. Anderson in American History during my junior year at Mountain Home High School. Admittedly, at the time I did not understand why we needed three chalkboards filled with notes every day, but in later years, I realized just how much she taught us. She was a true educator, more than just handing out information, but instilling in each student the desire to keep learning. I am a better person for knowing her, and her legacy can be seen in the eyes of any of her students.
My condolences & prayers for the family! I loved Mrs. Anderson! She was my history teacher and later coworker. She opened my heart & mind to a love for far-away places and for the past. She was a precious gem & will be greatly missed!
Patsy was a dear friend to me in the days I attended Mountain Home High School. I have kept the wonderful memories close of those I knew during those wonderful days. Patsy was a leader and set a great example for those around to follow. I had the good fortune of renewing our friendship briefly when I attended a reunion of classmates in 2003. I send my sincerest sympathies to her loved ones and many friends. Such a special person and she will be missed.
We are saddened to hear of Mrs Patsy's passing. She was a wonderful teacher who impacted both of our lives. Our prayers are for comfort and peace for your family.
I am most distressed to learn that an old friend and classmate has passed away .I remember many good times as classmates in Mountain Home High School as we were growing up in Mountain Home. Those truly were the "Best of Times" My brother. Bil Keys, and I offer our most sincere condolences.
Sorry your family are experiencing such a sad event. We as on lookers are encouraged to rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep. So until your tears turn to joy may each one in the family lovingly comfort one another. (Romans 12:15)
So sorry to hear of her passing. Patsy was indeed a truly wonderful teacher, sweet and spunky lady, and great example for many to follow.
