I didn’t get to know you well my sister Pat here on earth but, on that resurrection morning when we see our blessed savior Jesus, we will understand it better by and by. For we shall be changed in a moment in the twinkle of an eye. To hear Jesus say enter in thou good and faithful servant will be worth it all. Take this whole world but give us Jesus!
So sorry for your loss!
All our sympathies to the family and friends of Pat. She has gone to meet her Jesus, freed from this earthly body. We will miss you.
I will miss your sassy sense of humor Aunt Pat. Blessed RIH.
Thank you, Grandma, for showing me a true part of myself, and making me reach my goals I always wanted to reach. She taught me how to read at 3, She cares about me and my family and I would be proud to see my family again after I get out of Foster Care.
