I’m so sorry to hear about Patsy. My sympathy to all of you. When we were kids, she, Betty Pribyl and I hung together when we visited our MN relatives. We had fun and maybe a little trouble from our parents :>)
My prayers go out to all of you to offer you comfort and peace. Every time I saw her she had a smile on her face. Even at time through tears. God bless you all. RIP Patsy.
So sorry to hear of Patsy’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Our thoughts are with you at this
time of your loss. To Bill, Jeanette and Kenny it is hard to lose a sister.
Thinking of you.
Betty and George McAlpine
