I didn't know about this site until just now August 11, 2010 but Iit's never too late to pay tribute to Patsy.. a great friend and confidante...irreverant but wise, gererous to a fault and simply unforgettable. Here's to you , Patsy! How many laughs we've shared, how many adventures. You were an original and I'll miss you always.

After my brother Travis passed away over six years ago, Pat made a point of sticking by my mother Dorothy and her friend of over 50 years. Knowing this, Pat pledged to call my mother daily, rekindling their close friendship and adding something to my mother's life. Pat kept that promise for 5 years, until the very day Dorothy passed away. Friendships can sometimes be hard to define. But here was an example of one person determined to give one day at a time, and living one of life's most important lessons: If you want to have a friend - BE A FRIEND. We can all learn a great deal from this example of giving, and we can aspire to follow this lead. All of Pat's family and friends are in our thoughts and prayers. Peter and Joanne Miller

Mommie, You were such a great inspiration to me. You were always there for me when I needed a friend to talk to or some motherly advice. I remember the time you took me to Hilton Head in your little red convertible and we had Beef Wellington for lunch at a quaint little cafe'. Then you showed me the beach and we shopped and laughed and had so much fun! I will always remember you. You have a very special place in my heart! Love, Marsha

Courtney & Drew, I just wanted to let you know my heart goes out to you both and your family. Pat was a firecracker, that's for certain and she will be truly missed. The world sure lost an animal lover and a lovely lady. Please let me know if you need anything.

Mommie, you were a unique and very special friend. It is going to be very difficult to try to exsist in this world without you. You gave this life breath and color. You are always in my heart. I will miss you always. Sincerely, Your Baby Vickie
