god bless love you always aunt dot

When god created my Aunt Patsy he created the most beautiful, precious angel on the face of this earth. There was never a time when you seen her that she didn't have a welcoming heart, a big smile and words of encouragement and wisdom to offer you.

Aunt Patsy focused all of her time and energy on her family, our family and anyone else's family in need of her special touch.

She was the most generous, giving and loving Aunt a girl could wish for.

It was a great honor, blessing and miracle that I could be so lucky to have an Aunt as truly remarkable as she was.

I can't express my admiration, respect and love enough for this special Aunt, Mom, Daughter, Sister, Granny and Friend to all.

My sister Tammy and I took Granny out to see Patsy the day before she left to be with all the other angels. During our time spent with Patsy she kept apologizing to us for not having the strength and energy to socialize with us - even during her toughest times Aunt Patsy was still focused, concerned and worried about everyone but herself.

She was the most nuturing, kindest, gentlest, caring and unselfish angel in all of our lives.

Granny Fairbanks my heart is with you always.

Robert, Necie and Bo my heart goes out to you all. Y'all are in my thoughts and prayers.

Daddy you are my heart! - Now, forever and always!

To the rest of my family, I'll always be here for you during your time of need.

With Love,

Lori

The Frank family would like to express our sadness at the passing of Patsy. We have been blessed to have her granddaughter Necie and great-grandson Brandon as members of our family and our hearts go out to them and all of Patsy's family and friends during this period of grieving.

We last saw her at Brandon's 3rd birthday party and as usual she was all smiles and quick to give a hug and ask how we were doing. She took our Allen into her family and made him one of her own and for that we will forever be grateful. God bless her and keep her.

We will all miss Aunt Patsy. She was the sweetest, kindest most giving woman I have ever known. I will miss her laugh and her comforting hugs. God blessed us with her presence, but we will all see her again when we join her in heaven.

Aunt Patsy was the greatest Aunt in the world. She was always doing things with us and for us, taking us swimming, to church, christmas carolling, haunted houses, nursing homes, carnivals, school-shopping, grocery shopping...you name it she was up to it. You could always count on her to be there for you no matter what.
Everyone loves Patsy and her kind gentle loving spirit.
I think God must need an angel and my Aunt Patsy is the perfect one!

Robbie-the following poem has been of inspiration to me and I would like to share it you…

“God looked around the garden, and found an empty space. He looked down upon the earth, and saw her tired face.

He put his arms around our loved one and lifted her to rest. God’s garden must be beautiful for he only takes the best.

He knew that our loved one was weary, and he knew she was in pain. He knew that she would never be well on earth again.

He saw the roads were getting rough, and the hills were hard to climb. So he closed her weary eyelids, and whispered peace be thine”.
