Elvis Chris Sissy and Chad so sorry to hear about Patrica.I don’t know if Chris and Sissy remember me but we had some good times when they were young. Prayers for the family. your friend Janie Pace
We are so sorry to hear of her passing. While we didn’t know her personally, we are friends with her son Chad, and if she brought up such a kind, friendly, caring and dependable man as him – she must have been one heck of a mom. She clearly brought light into the world and her actions and the actions of her children touched many people. We believe she’s in a better place and our thoughts and hearts are with her family.
