Harold and Family: It is with a heavy heart to say "I am so sorry". Patsy's words were always cheerful and uplifting in every conversation we had no matter what it was all about. When we talked last week, there was a "lift" in her voice that I will never forget. I was so blessed just knowing Patsy. Cherish your memories ..........
