I want to send my prayers for Patsys family. Pasty and my mom Mary Caddell Van Leuvan, which died in 2003 were best friends. I remember going to the house seeing them. I knew her daughter Linda very well. Loved this family.
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Recently I lost my dear mother, and found great
comfort in the words of Jesus at John 11:11-14, where he likens death to being
asleep, and at John 5:28,29 – ‘All those in the memorial tombs will hear his voi
What a blessing Ms. Patsy has been to me over the last 4yrs that I’ve gotten to know her. She is one of the sweetest and most genuinely kind hearted ladies that I’ve had the pleasure to meet. Thank you so much for sharing her with us!!!
Carolyn, you have been on my mind ever since I heard about your sweet mom passing away. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I sure miss you and others from Trinity Grove. Blessings, Wendy.
Carolyn,
I am so very sorry to hear about your mother. She was a wonderful lady and I know she will be missed around Trinity. I know Lucy will miss her too.
You and your family are in my prayers.
Love,
Nancy
