We are so sorry for your loss. The death of a love one can be extremely difficult to cope with. Many have found comfort in the many promises found in Gods word the bible. Acts 24:15 has special meaning for many. There it speaks about the Resurrection. By means of the Resurrection our loving creator ( Psalms24:15, John 3:16) will restore life to those sleeping in death as promised. The bible reassures mankind this important truth "GOD cannot lie. Therefore we can trust the Resurrection mentioned there at Acts 24:15. Please find comfort in this beautiful provision of God during this difficult time...Mary Ann

Dear Grandma: I am so sorry I was not around as much as we both wanted me to be. I am so sorry I did not call as much as we both wanted me to. I love you so very much Grandma and will forever remember everything you taught me about respecting my elders. Even to this day I tell my kids the same thing you told me as a kid during my summer break with you "Don't shake your head when I am speaking to you because I can't hear you. Always open your mouth and talk to people when they are talking to you." Every time we come to visit you always tell the stories about Jr sitting on the side of the road selling peaches to people passing by. I love you so very much and will miss you and regret not being there more as an adult. I know you are in a much better place singing in God's Heavenly Choir. Tell Grandad I love him and I will see you all in the sweet by and by. To God be the glory.

Ms. Fannie talked with me on many occasions about the Lord and the love she had for her family. I met Ms. Fannie at the Montezuma Healthcare and I enjoyed talking with her; she was very encouraging. May she rest in peace. Canyon Frederick

She always had smart advice in a very soft spoken voice. I would always listen when she was talking.

Fannie was a true friend and a very hard working soft spoken lady. I will keep all of her family and friends in my prayers. I was blessed to know her.

My heartfelt sympathy goes out to the entire Patterson family. I'm so sorry for your loss! It broke my heart to find out that Mrs. Fannie was buried just yesterday and I didn't know it. Mrs. Fannie was a Great Woman of God!!! France's and I grew up like sister's. I remember all the times that we'd get in Mrs. Fannie's kitchen and cook when we were in high school.

Ms.Fannie even though you are gone to another place. I can only say you were more than a mom to me and my children. I loved you with all my heart you were my only prayer partner. I could call you any time you were always there to encourage. The way only an Angel sent straight from heaven above would be....This is not a good-bye my friend we shall see each other again on a brighter horizon. All my love and sympathy for your loved ones....Nina
