Dear Bud, South, Jimmy and Eddie, 
Jim and I send our sincerest condolences to you and your families. Your mother was gem! She was always so charming and poised and always put together. We will pray for the peaceful repose of her dear soul and for strength for all of you as you face this difficult time. We will hold you in our hearts tomorrow. 
Lots of love,

Dear Patterson Family,
I have had the honor of knowing Mrs. Patterson for 16 years. During that time, Mrs. Patterson showed me so much kindness and appreciation that I could not help but love her. She truly was an amazing woman - beautiful on the inside and out. With love and deepest sympathy,

I feel very blessed to have known Mrs. Patterson although only the last 3 years of her life.  I got to know and love her visiting her weekly at The Newport with my dog Holly.  She was always upbeat and positive; such a pleasure to visit. She would tell me and Holly stories about her life and family.  Up until this last year, I would always find her reading something when I came to visit.  We often talked politics and I was amazed how she stayed up on the latest happenings.  What an incredible lady.  Holly and I will miss her.

It was a pleasure to be a small part of Mrs Patterson's journey. She was a lovely woman who never lost her wit. It was an honor and privelege to take care of her.

Dearest Patterson Family,  I feel so blessed to have had Aunt Elaine in my life.  Such warmth and grace in one person are a rarity in this day and age and I always appreciated my time together with Aunt Elaine.  I'm so glad that much of her later years were spent with your large, and very loving family. Much love to you all,  Cousin Sally in Oregon
