To Charlie, Family, Church, Friends, and Co-workers- May we extend our sincere sympathy to each of you. We were privaledged to have worshipped with Charlie and Patty at Trinity Baptist Church some years ago- thru Patty we witnessed God’s Grace and Mercy,and His Healing Touch as she went thru a lengthy comma- and as she and Charlie lost each of their children. Patty will be remembered as ‘Faithful’ to the things of Her Lord- and she had the sweetest spirit- always willing to help or do what she could for others- We’re praying for each of you and know that once again God’s Grace will be in just the right amount of portions, and thankful that as Christians we do have ‘Hope’ – Heaven just keeps getting sweeter. May God’s Perfect Peace comfort your hearts today and always.
Charlie, such a shock to learn of your dear wife’s passing. If there was ever a true Christian, it was Patty. She was such a loving,passionate person to everyone. She will be missed in our class and in the church as a whole and I know in your life as well.Also, she will always be Peppermint Patty to Buddy. We will keep you and your family in our prayers.Buddy and Janice Cochran

Dear Charlie: I will always remember Monday and in helping Patty with the heater under her desk and how we laughed as she helped me up. We joked about how getting old was just not fun! Patty has always been an inspiration to me, and a blessing – the both of you. Through the years, we have been through tough times, and I always could see yours and Patty’s smiling face of love and encouragement. It has been an honor to know the both of you, and I know the steps you take. You are held closest to God’s heart especially right now. I rejoice in that heaven is getting sweeter, and that we will once again see our loved ones, and we will Patty again. The both of you are living testimonies, and her light will continue to shine both around you and here in the workplace, for I will miss her greatly. May God bless you and keep you. Isaiah 40:31 is a scripture that I send to you. In God’s love, Debbie Reemes-Ford.
Dear Charlie and family:
I had the good fortune of knowing Patty from the Sheriff’s Dept. when I would take documents to be served. We talked a lot about our families, our grandchildren and our faith in God. She was truly a Godly woman and I am blessed to have had her for a dear friend. She will be so greatly missed by anyone who knew her. Please know you and your family are in my prayers.
Dear Donna and family,
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your sister Patty. Please know that you and your family are in my prayers. She was a very sweet lady, and each time I saw her she would always greet me with a smile. I know that you will miss her, but knowing her relationship with Christ, I pray this will bring you comfort in the days to come. God bless you.
Charlie, what a shock to hear of the passing of such a sweet and loving lady. Patty was an encouragement to so many people. The Blue Ridge Camp Meeting will never be the same without her sitting there on the front singing and praising the Lord each night. The Lord has truly chosen to take a jewel home to be with Him. Carol and I love you very much and please know that you are being lifted up in prayer daily! Love you my dear friend. Remember, there’s no need to doubt Him now!
Charlie, >Our heartfelt Christian sympathy goes to you and the family. We have many fond memories of you and the family here at Calvary. May God’s comforting touch be with you through this difficult time.

And then it will be forever..I have known Patty and Charlie for many yrs. and we have worshipped together many yrs. at Trinity… And we will worship together for eternity in Heaven..Love to you …If I can help you anyway, please don’t hesitate to call me..

Dear Brother Charlie, How sad to hear the news of your Precious Patty. My heart goes out to you. I know your pain all too well. I remember hugging and telling Patty good-bye before my move to Lawrenceville a few weeks back. She was a precious lady and I loved her dearly. Hold on to your memories and know that it won’t be long until we are once again united with our dear loved ones. You are in my prayers. May God bring comfort to your heart.
We were shocked & also amazed at he passing of Patty. I know you all will miss her, but she will be waiting at the gate for you to arrive. God will fill that void in your lives until it is your turn to cross over, and there she will be waiting for you. Just remember, she has already made that crossing and we still have that to do yet, We have known Patty for about 25 or 30 years and she has been a real blessing to both Carroll & I. I know that it is going to be hard for you to fill her place, but God can do that, Know that my prayers and our love are always with you, if you ever need us, we are as close as a telephone. We have loved and still love Miss Johnnie so much, Either I call her every day or she calls me every day. We have prayed for each other so much lately and that is what Christians are for to hold each other up in Prayer. Miss Johnnie, please know how very much that Carroll & I love you and we would do anything for you no matter what. Hang in there, we love you and so does God, he never closes a door without opening up a window. Please let us know if you need us.
We love you and are praying for you, Wilma & Carroll
Charlie and family,
What a shock when we heard the call! And again, sorry we could not accommodate your wishes, as we had other obligations. It would have been an honor to have done so.
Our prayer is that the Love and comfort of God’s amazing grace just embrace you at this time. We know that Patty has found that ‘Haven of Rest’ for eternity. And, of course, we have the assurance of being with her again someday. May God strengthen you and hold you up at this time. We love you,
Ernie, Bonnie, Stacey, April, Eric and family.
Such a shock to hear of Pattys passing. I first met her when she was working at the Civil Processing. Never once did I see her with anything but a smile on her face and an encouraging word. What a beautiful strong christian woman to look up to. I will miss seeing her face at the Blue Ridge Camp Meeting. Please know Charlie you are in our thoughts and prayers. We are sure gonna miss her.
Charlie, I am so very sorry to hear about Patty. I loved her so much… she was such a great friend to have in your corner. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. If I can do anything please let me know. The only thing I keep thinking is that she is with your kids again and her broken heart is mended.

Charlie and Family
So sorry to hear about Patty.She was a special lady and cousin to us.She will be greatly missed.Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
Charlie, I am so sorry to hear of Patty’s death. I had met Patty just once, a few years ago, and knew right away what a lucky fellow you were. Your loss reminds me once more to value every opportunity I have to love my wife all that much more… certainly not to take life itself and the friendships it brings my way for granted. My heart goes out to you, sir.
