It was an honor to know Sis. Pat. She was passionate for God and for maximizing His will in her life and the lives all of she encountered. She blessed me and I now have getting to hear her laugh again as another benefit of moving to Heaven!
Greatful to have shared part of my life with an Anointed, Powerful, Dedicated woman of GOD. She graciously ministered not only to me as part of her cell ministry but also to my family when healing and comfort was much needed during the loss of my father. She was with me when i had my surgery and never missed a day checking in on me during recovery with prayer. It was painful when she had to leave but i knew she was listening to GOD. Sister Pat was missed and will now truly be missed. I know she is celebrating with all the other Saints in Glory as she receive her Heavenly Crown. Well done thou Precious and Faithful Servant! Much Love, Peace and Sympathy to Angie her daughter, Brother Vernon, and Family. She will always have a special place in my heart. Her loving daughter in Christ, JANA and Family
