To all those mourning the loss of dear Patty:
Please take comfort in the promise spoken by Jesus at John 5:28, 29. There he says "the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out." Your beloved Patty now rests, awaiting that call. As you await that glorious day, know too that you have been invited by our loving Creator, Jehovah God, to "throw all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you." (1 Peter 5:7; Psalm 83:18) I hope you all take care and please accept my sincerest condolences.

Mrs. Doris and Family,

I did not know about Patty's passing until last night. Please know that I am so sorry and I pray God comforts you. I worked with Patty years ago. She was the sweetest person with a smile that could brighten anyone's day. May your days ahead be filled with the precious memories you have and know that God loves you.

Art, we grieve with you. Patty will long be in our memories for her selfless acts of love and kindness during our days of mourning the passing of Janet's father (Honoree Dudney) and mother (Verna Mae Dudney) several years ago. She embodied the Lord's heart for service and compassion. May your precious memories of her and the love or our Father abide with you always and give comfort. Gardiner and Janet
