After walking through her own personal Gethsemane, Pat's battle has ended. She has fought long and hard be it physically, emotionally or spiritually. She has maintained faith and hope and has been an amazing example to all who know her. We will be eternally grateful for the life she led, the righteous desires granted her and the legacy she left behind.
She passed away peacefully at 5 minutes til 6 PM on May 5, 2011. She was surrounded by all of her children and grandchildren, just as she requested. What a sweet reunion she must have had with her parents, inlaws and children on the other side. Family she has been anxiously awaiting a reunion with for years. Although she is leaving deep holes in all of our hearts we know that her spirit lives on, that her legacy continues and that it will take a constant effort from all of us to accomplish what this one great woman has done in just 69 short years.
A viewing is scheduled for Friday May 13th, followed by her funeral on Saturday May 14th. We will update you on the times of these two events in the days to come. Thank you again for all of the prayers, love and concern that have poured in over the past months. We have seen as her Savior has lifted her spirits and carried her through the depths of her Gethsemane.
Thank you Bry and Cindy for doing this blog so we could all keep up to date with grandma pat. She was an amazing women. I'll miss her as I'm sure a lot of others will to. We'll keep you all in our thoughts and prayers.

ReplyDeleteGrandma~ I can only imagine the smile on your face when your spirit was free. To be able to run again and embrace Dusty, Tina, Ryan, and others. Thank you so much for your love. You have truly taken me in as yet another child. I will forever treasure all of our conversations and stories as the boys worked on their trucks outside. Thank you for your example. I love you so much!!
