I pray for the love and peace for your family that I know can only come from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. So very sorry for your loss.

Michael our hearts are broken knowing Pat has left us way too soon! Pat was always smiling and laughing, we will miss that. She never met a stranger. We remember the day well when Michael came strolling in the front door of the Eye Center and Pat was working the front desk. He swept her right off her feet! We enjoyed working with Pat at Baptist. Rest in peace Pat! You will be greatly missed!

Our little street will not be the same without Pat and her smiling face. I always knew Pat would be there, whether to tell her my latest yard project, or just sit and watch the babies play. She was loved so much not only by her family, but by her neighbors, who were so lucky to have her as a friend. Michael, we love you. Kids, we are praying for the family. Let us know if we can help in any way.
