Add A CondolenceThoughts and Prayers going up for your family during this difficult time.
Bill i am so sorry to hear this very sad news. Just wanted you to know that my prayers are with you and your family. My God truly bless and keep you.
Bill, Amy, Craig and family, My memories of Patti take me back to school in West Point and on to LaGrange College and Phi Mu. We traveled parallel roads sharing childhood and on to adulthood. Although we may not have seen each other often, we always fell into easy conversations as if we had not been apart. Patti was like that and I will miss my old friend. Our hearts are heavy for all of you. Patti leaves a great legacy of love behind with her family and all who knew her. Steve and I are not there with you in person because of sickness, but we are thinking of you and sending you our prayers. With love, Nancy and Steve
Dear Bill, Amy, Craig, Marianna, Linda, and Jane, We are so saddened by the news of Patti’s death. She made a positive impact on the lives of each child and adult she touched. Patti was not only a fellow teacher but also a good friend. She will be sorely missed. We are in NC and won’t be able to attend the service but are keeping each of you in our thoughts and prayers. With much love, Howard and Barbara Ruddick
I remember how glad the preacher was on any given Sunday when the Pattillo and Lindsey families came to church,'cause we surely caused a stir, not to mention filled up some pews. I guess it was all the girls! We have all been lifelong friends. Peace and love, our darling Patti, and to you too, Marianna, Jane and Linda.............The Lindsey Girls
I wish I could be there for y’all. Craig and Amy your mom was one of the sweetest and most supportive people I knew. I know it’s been years since we’ve seen each other but please know I’m here for y’all if you need me. The whole family is in my prayers. Phillip (Possum) Sanders
