  2. Miss Patty was the ROSE of KILMICHAEL. She always welcomed everyone, & had a smile on her face. If the word LOVE needed a picture by the definition, Miss Patty’s face should be there. She really cared for us and was like a second mom. Goodness was always present when Miss Patty was around. I loved her very much. She made me and everybody else feel like we were special. I will truly miss this wonderful woman from God.

  4. Wade and Kenny I am very sorry to hear your mother has passed away. When we look back at our own lives there is that small group of people that really made a difference and had a hand in making us who we are today. For me “Mrs. Patty” was in that circle. From cow shows, weekends at the camp house with Wade, or afternoons at the pool she always made me feel welcome. She was gracious and kind, firm when we needed it, and understanding when we needed a little encouragement. I am a better person for having had Mrs Patty in my life as a kid and I will forever be grateful that God put her in my circle.
