We enjoyed knowing Patsy and Ron at South Church and appreciated their help in many services around the church. I, Rita, enjoyed sharing the job of handing out cookies with Patsy between services.

I am Kathy Gregory’s daughter (from the lake). I am so sad to learn about Pat. She was such a good friend to Mom and whenever we visited, she was so sweet to us. We have such wonderful memories of chats with her and sitting around the fire, having s’mores. We are so sorry for your loss. It is our loss as well. Thinking of you in this time of grief.
