Dear Glenna, Patti and Richard and your families,
Im sorry to hear about about your precious Mother’s passing.
Lots of wonderful memories of she and your dad and my mom and dad. She was such an inspiration to all who had the blessing of knowing her. As my sunday school teacher as a child ( and we wont discuss how long ago that was !!!) she made me want to learn about Jesus.
She was kind, patient but most of all a dedicated servant to the Lord.
She had a warm smile that could make you feel loved.
I have all of you in my prayers and thoughts.
We have to remember that we will all be together again…..what a celebration that will be !!
Sincerely,
Susan Blackwell Brock
Glenna, Patti, and Richard,
I was saddened at the news of your Mother’s passing. Pat was not only a dear friend but also a great nieghbor. Fran and I shared many laughs and cups of coffee sitting with her at her kitchen table. She and I had a running joke about her making me a pan of biscuits, which she always promised but it never seemed to happen. I will miss her and her constant smile.
God’s blessings to you and your families,
Jerry McMahan
Another Angel in Heaven! My deepest condolences to all the family. Her spirit was a blessing to all that knew and loved Pat. We met in 1997 when I moved to NC following the death of my husband at a young age. Her devotion to our Lord lifted me out of my depression and I will always be grateful to her.
Patti, Richard and Glenna,
Lana and I shared a smile when remembering your mother. What a sweet, caring and supportive lady during our time at Emmanuel. She was such a blessing to us and our children, Michelle and Mark. She always asked about them whenever we visited the church. i know you will miss her but but pray you will be comforted by her faith and trust. God bless you and thinking of you all today.
I knew Glenna in high school. I never met Pansy but I relate to my on mother living with me now, approximately the same age and as loved as Glenna’s dear mom. I just wanted to connect to give my condolences and let Glenna know that neither she or her mom will be easily forgotten. such love is eternal.. Don Shuler
