Bernard and Stanley I'm going to miss Pattie Mae...a woman I've known my entire life...Big Bernard picked an angel ...Cousin Andrea Burnette Green
Pattie was a beautiful soul. We have many days of joy just talking with her. The good old days flood back and her laugh was one of the best memory of a talented, gentle woman. We will all miss seeing her face, hearing her soft voice, her grace and loving manner. In sympathy, Cousin Jennie Simmons and the children
Mrs. Pattie Mae was always a very sweet woman to me and my family. She was a dear friend of my grandmother Shirley. She always was very supportive and made sure to spend time with my grandma whenever she could. She showed me what real friendship looked like. She always made sure to check on my grandma even when she wasn't feeling her best, when my great grandmother passed she made it a point to keep my grandma' s spirit uplifted, and always offered a helping hand when my grandma was sick. We will never forget you or your beautiful smile. Condolences and prayers to her Boys and the rest of her family. - The Jant Family
