Patsy was an inspiration to me, a face full of joy in adversity and a shining example of a faith filled life. All this from only knowing her online at Amity Mama. Thank you for your grace, Patsy, be well with our Lord and Saviour.

Patsy was an amazing woman, she had so much strength it amazed me, even through the worst of her battle she held fast to her faith. Patsy helped me through one of the most difficult times in my life, and I will forever be thankful to have gotten to know her. Her love for God, Conan and her children was inspiring. My prayers are with all of you during this difficult time. Patsy, you will be missed, your life touched the hearts of so very many. Thank God for sending Patsy as a living testimony to your love for all, she is in heaven smiling down on you all!

I knew Patsy in our teenage years at the Air Force Base Chapel in Charleston, SC.
She was funny and a spitfire like her red hair. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Ms. Barbara, and your family. If only more people in the world were like Patsy. God Bless You.

I give my condolences to the Byram Family. I met Stan and Barbara in the NSICU waiting room. Their warm, kind words of encouragement during their time of grief will never be forgotten. May God bless you and keep you safe. Remember the pain of your lost will soon become loving memories forever. Jim Magwood and family

My condolences to a woman who was loved by many and will be greatly missed. I am a nurse who cared for Patsy recently and wish the best to Conan, Patsy's family and children. Let faith guide you through this difficult time and memories help keep her close to your heart.

My thoughts and prayers are with Patsy's family. May the Lord provide the strength to carry you through the next days and weeks ahead.

What an incredible woman. Her love for the Lord and her family was remarkable. She truly had a zest for life.

Patsy will be missed by so many. She touched so many lives. The April '99 Moms group will dearly miss her. I am so glad I got to know her this side of Heaven.

Until we meet again my friend,

I am so sorry for you loss. sending you peace and strength during this difficult time.

We are so sorry to hear about your loss. Patsy always had such great insight to provide. She helped me with so many words of wisdom during our pregnancies. We are happy that she is out of pain and with the Lord. Our prayers are with Conan and the kids.

I just don't know what to say... Patsy was such a wonderful woman, so in love with her family, and so positive about everything she did. I will miss her smile, her red hair, her Johnny Depp references, but not her spirit, her spirit will be with us always.

Conan and children, I am so very sorry for your loss. You are in my prayers continually. Patsy, you are missed.

I know Patsy is in heaven and out of pain, for that I am thankful but, I am so sorry for your loss. Patsy was such a kind person. She will be missed by many. My heart goes out to you (her children and husband), who will miss her the most. As time passes by, and as you return to life’s routine, I hope you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends. Each person grieves in a different way and most people have no idea what to say or do to help you through this- all I know is -that you are each loved and God will see you through this. And don't hesitate to let us around you know what you need -even if it is just someone to listen for awhile. I don't want to intrude, but if you need me - I am here for you!

Love,

Melody and family

Patsy I feel blessed to have been part of your life as your aunt. So many ups and downs, funny and sad I will hold you in my heart for ever. Love, "Aunt Bea"

Patsy's family is in our prayers.

You are all in my thoughts and my heart. I will forever think of her whenever I see a Pirate--she will be greatly missed.

While I only knew Patsy through the internet, I have to say that I am very blessed to have "known" her. She was an angel on earth and now in Heaven. Rest in Peace, Patsy.

I know there are no words to say that could ever replace your loss, but you are in my family's thoughts and prayers.We hope that you find peace in knowing that she is in heaven and resting. Take comfort in the fact that she is watching over you and will be with you through every step in life.

Pasty touched so many lives and hearts and will be sorely missed. My heart goes out to her family, and I'm greatful to have "known" her through online communities. Rest in peace, Patsy.

Conan and kids, May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief. Patsy was a true light and she didn't hide it from others, she shared it.

She will be sorely missed.

Patsy's family is in my prayers.

Patsy will be greatly missed. When I think of her I think of her fierce love for God, her husband, and her family. She was an amazing woman, and I feel honnored to have known her.

May God draw your family close, and give you stregnth.

Connan & Family,
We were so sad to hear about Patsy, what a wonderful lady she was. She will be missed. May God be with you all during this time. We love and miss you all

A beautiful redhead with a wonderful smile who left us on my 45th birthday. She loved her work, her family and all she touched. Shine on Patsy. You will be a star of light and hope for us always. Thank you for loving my friend Maria who is still walking with cancer. Your family will remain in my thoughts and prayers. Love Kathy-jo

I was and still am so humbled by her grace and care for others. She was truly amazing and I will always appreciate the few emails we shared and her immense strength. She lived for her husband and children. The kind of love that leaves you awed just to even read about it. Thank you Patsy for being you. You'll be missed very much our Depp lovin' gal.

I will miss Patsy's posts but I am rejoicing that she is now in the presence of the Lord. My prayers are with her family during this time.

Rest in peace beautiful mama.

Your courage and strength was an inspiration to many; your faith in the Father above, an inspiration to all.

These many messages are precious to us and they give us great comfort to know that she was loved by so many. We sincerely Thank all of you. Our greatest comfort is knowing that she is safely home with our loving SAVIOUR CHRIST the LORD. Patsy's Mom & stepfather, Barb & Stan

What a blessing it has been to know Pasty in our online forums. Her faith has been a shining example to all. My prayers are with her family in her loss on this earth.

Psalm 23:6 " 6 Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever."

Patsy exemplified goodness and love and I know she is dwelling with our Lord now.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family during this time. God bless you all.

Patsy, you are missed. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

Patsy and I were part of an online congo a few years ago and it was a privilege to know her through that venue.
Last year I was diagnosed with cancer and shortly after my treatment, Patsy shared her diagnosis.
I was blessed to hear from her online from time to time. It was such an encouragement to get a note from her. She was expecially good to write when I was down.
My heart misses her so much. I pray her family has peace through her passing and that comfort will embrace them all.
Patsy, Thank you for beign a part of my life.

Patsy was a beautiful woman inside and out. She touched many lives and I only hope that she has now found peace.

Patsy will be greatly missed~ may she now be at peace.

It is amazing just how truly special Patsy was to everyone she knew (and that knew her). She touched so many lives- and in so many ways. May she rest in peace and may her family be comforted in knowing that although she is no longer here physically, Patsy will always live on in the hearts of those who were blessed in knowing her. God bless.

May the peace and comfort of the Lord surround you during this time.
Patsy was a great inspiration to me.
You are all in my prayers.

Patsy has touched so many people at our parenting community. She will be greatly missed and all of her "Amity sisters" will remember her for her beautiful smile, caring heart, and unselfish ways. Love to all of her family.

Patsy was one of the most selfless women I have had the pleasure of knowing. She had such a radiant smile and she had an impact on the lives of hundreds of women all around the world.

I pray that time brings you peace and allows you to find the joy and happiness in life again, though I know it may seem impossible now.

Words escape me so I'll post a poem that was said at my fathers memorial. My heart and thoughts are with you all.

After Glow

I'd Like The Memory Of Me To Be A Happy One

I'd Like To Leave An After Glow Of Smiles When Life Is Done

I'd Like To Leave An Echo Whispering Softly Down The Ways

Of Happy Times And Laughing Times And Bright And Sunny Days

I'd Like The Tears Of Those Who Grieve, To Dry Before The Sun

Of Happy Memories That I Leave When Life Is Done

I saw this poem and hope it helps to comfort you in your time of grief...


To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Patsy's touch was far reaching. When I think of her I think of the Ray Boltz song - Thank You. I know she is in heaven seeing just how many lives she touched with her unwavering faith and compassion.

You are an Angel. You will be missed by all.

To the family ~ may the Lord look over all of you and hold you all close to His heart. Know that you are not alone and that sweet Patsy is looking down at all of you with her unconditional loving heart. We are very sorry for your loss!

Patsy, you will be missed, my dear friend.

Thinking of you and praying God will send you peace in this difficult time. We love you guys.

Patsy you were a angel on earth and now you are one in heaven, Godspeed Patsy you will be missed by so many.

My thoughts go out to Patsy's family and friends. My mother has known Patsy for a long time. I was her flower girl in her first wedding. She was a beautiful person inside and out.

We were privileged to share a small part of Patsy's life. We send our prayers that God's grace will comfort those that loved her and grieve her passing. We know that this world has lost a special mother who was a true lover of her God, her life and her family and that the angels in Heaven have a new light to guide us by.

May you find peace.You will be missed dearly.
(Amitymama...Suefrog36)

Patsy was a wonderful friend to me. Your family continues to be in my prayers.

Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.
