My heart is just broken as I know that all her friends and family must be. Patsy was a good friend to us and I thank the Good Lord for her. I'm in California right now, so I'm unable to attend her service on Sat. I saw her and talked to her, not long before I came over here. I'll miss her greatly and love her forever. Kat
