To Patsy's family: She was a dear friend...from the time she first moved to Big Spring. We were very close friends...playmates in 2nd or 3rd grade, and our close friendship continued on throughout our school years and following, until we all went our separate ways. I was grieved to learn of her death, and of her lingering fight with MS. But I'm comforted, and know that you, her famiy is, with the knowledge that she is with her Lord now, and no longer limited by any disability. May the Lord bless and comfort each of you.
