I did not know Patsy but a short time when she and Paul came to our church in Sour Lake, but she was a blessing when she sang for us. I know she has been missed, but the Lord can fill you with his peace and his love.##imported-begin##Jeannie Davis##imported-end##

So sorry to hear of Patsy's passing. A lot of good memories of backing her up singing and listening to her sing with Slim Watts. My thoughts and prayers are with the family. Luther Nallie##imported-begin##Luther Nallie##imported-end##
