Patricia Porter

We called her Rena when I lived in Union County she and I was a member of West Rocky Ford Baptist Church in Wadesboro NC under the leadership of Pastor Lennon Parson she was quiet always had a nice smile and would help where she could she was a private person. She had moved to Durham NC and we had talked about a year or so about getting together and going out to eat. With her work schedule and my schedule it didn't happen. I am going to really miss her sleep in little lady I don't know how you might have suffered or the pain you had to endure but it's over now.

I 1st met Amelia working at BCBSNC and reconnected with her years later at WOCC. I will hold dear to our last conversation about how good God is! I'm thankful we were able to reconnect. She was always so kind to me. Her love for her Daddy was immeasurable. My prayers go out to all that knew her and loved her. She will be missed immensely.
