Robin, Pam, and family, I am so sorry to hear about your Mom passing away. Just know she is in God’s Kingdom and you will be with her again. Although I hadn’t saw her in years, I will always remember that smile and her laughing. You and your family are in my prayers during this difficult time.
Pat will be missed dearly here by all. She can hear, she can dance, she can travel without having to arrange dialysis! We love her, but GOD loves her more!
Pam,Robin,Lynn and Jimmy,
So many of your Mom’s friends would love to be with you during this horrible loss but they live too far away to make it so quickly.
They have asked that I share with you their sympathies in your loss and to let you know that Biltmore High School Class of ’62 shares that loss as Pat was such a valued member of that class. We shall always remember her beautiful smile and jovial personality. God has given her peace and relief from the pain she has so long endured. We shall miss her. God be with you all and comfort you. Your Mother was so proud of each of you and loved you so much.
With Heartfelt Sympathy,
The Biltmore High School Class of ’62

Robin, Pam, Lynn & Jimmy,
I can honestly say that Pat was one of my favorite patients @ WDC. She loved talking with the staff and other patients. She frequently talked about each of you and the grand kids. She was so happy to show off the picture of the new great-grand baby. My favorite memories of her will be watching her look at ‘Dancing With The Stars’ during her treatments and the movies on cable. She would often sit in the chair after her treatment had ended to get to see the end of the movie. She was a classy lady and I loved her! I was so shocked to learn of her death on Tuesday morning. Her last words to me on Monday night were, ‘I’ll see you on Wednesday.’ Just remember that she was so proud of each of you and that she is now LITERALLY dancin’ with the stars!!!!

To Pat’s family: I am SO sorry to hear of Pat’s passing. I moved away and had not seen her for years but will never forget her smile and hugs at church when I visited. My prayers are with you!!
Robin,
We love you and your family. I just wanted you to know you and your family are in our prayers. The statements from the song:
‘If You Could Only See Me Now,’
I hope will be of comfort to you and your family.
‘IF YOU COULD ONLY SEE ME NOW!’
I’ve finally arrived
No one’s in a hurry
There’s no schedule to keep
We’re all enjoying Jesus
Just sitting at His feet
If you could see me now
I’m walking streets of gold
If you could see me now
I’m standing tall and whole
If you could see me now
You’d know I’ve seen His face
You wouldn’t want me to ever
leave this place
If you could only see me now
My light and temporary trials
Have worked out for my good
To know it brought Him glory
When I misunderstood
Though we’ve had our sorrows
They can never compare
What Jesus has in store for us
You wouldn’t want me to ever
leave this perfect place
If you could only see me now
If only you could see me now
We would like to tell you how sorry we are for your loss. If we can do anything for you please let us know.Cheri Cantrell-Debra Creasman and Jennifer Combs-Teresa Harper
