Uncle Ralph, Bonnie Sue, and Bubba,
Aunt Pat will always be in our hearts. We all loved her and had so many wonderful memories, particularly from our youth when she lived with us on Vanderhorst Street in Charleston. I wish I could attend but I was told Linda will be there for the family. God bless you all.

Dear Ralph,
What a wonderful lady you had for over 50 years! We feel so blessed to have had you both in our lives these past 18 years. We will cherish our memories of rides in the mountains, late night card games and many wonderful meals. Chloe says she will think of her everytime she eats that cherry fruit salad Pat taught us to make. She filled a void in our lives and she understood our need. You both have been like parents to us and we loved her dearly. Patti will remain close in our hearts until we are with her again... but we all will miss her terribly. Please know that while we can't be there Friday, you all will be in our constant thoughts. Sending our love and prayers of comfort~
