How you will be missed Aunt Patty. You were always there for me and loved me unconditionally. I love you so much.
I am saddened by the loss of zPatty. We went to Corley Church when we were young. She was a kind person. I am saddened due to circumstances that we weren’t able to connect physically since I have returned to WV. FB connected us though and that’s a blessing. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends.
To the family and friends of Patricia! I met Patricia at the Davis CancerCenter, and we sat and talked, she was such a friendly and kind lady! Take care — Mandy Myers, Mill Creek, WV
