So sorry to hear that Patsy has passed away. Patsy was one of my employees at the land commissioner office. She always did what I asked and trained well. Really glad I got to know her. I considered her to be a friend.

Dearest Tracy, Mattie, and Steve. My husband and I are very saddened to learn of Mrs. Strickland’s passing. We believers in Christ know that she is now one of the saints, a witness to the resurrection. What joy there is in knowing she has left the dark shadows behind as she now walks in the light with all the saints who commune in the presence of our Father God and his Son, the first of the resurrected. May the peace of the Holy Spirit bathe you in comfort and, yes, even joy that she now walks, healthy and freely, side by side with the risen Christ.
