to all of pat’s children, and two sisters, i send my deepest sympathies. i loved pat like a sister instead of a cousin. i will never forget the times my mother and sister and i would come visit them up on the mountain, and pat and dale and i would make playhouses out in the woods with moss as our carpet on our floors. also the times later when we would get around the organ and dale would play and we would sing our hearts out. that was the ‘good ol’e days. love and prayers, cousin betty summey

Yesterday was visitation and you were so pretty in your pink outfit! so many people were there to see you! We all miss you so very much! To all of my family I love yall and we will get through this! She is probley lookin at us right now wishin she could ‘beat our tales’ for greiving so bad! But its hard she was close to everyone of us! and we WILL see her again when god comes to take the rest of us home! God seen somethin in grandma that we never could and he knew she was ready to rest and be happy! Grandma was an AMAZING woman and she will never be forgotten! Everyone just remember, she is no longer suffering in this horrid place we have made as our world, she wont have to see all the violence and hatered that the everyday life has seen, she will be with papaw now and with her lord! Why should we mourn over this we should be happy and thankful for god to see that our grandma,mother,mother in law, cousin, has became ready to head home where she will keep watch over us and hopefully still keep us all in line! Rest in peace grandma and I know ill see you one day in heaven keep watch over us and little hayden in these tuff times! When hayden gets old enough I cant wait to show him all of the pictures of you and him and tell him all the great stories we have, like how you nick named me molly bean, and how you and I ALWAYS had a cup of coffee before we went to bed when I would stay the night and you told me megan thats ganna make you pee in the bed! haha, I will miss that but Im just glad that I had those times with you because now I have something to look back on! I love you!!!!!!!!!!!
Patsy,
Words cannot express how sorry I am that i didn’t get to come and see you while you were still with us! I know i probably haven’t seen or been seen by you for well over 20 years but I would like you to know that my mother always held you in the warmest regards! It makes me sad that you are my Birth Grandmother and I never got to meet you as an adult but something tells me that your presence is always near! Until we meet again. God Bless, God Love
