I find myself replaying so many moments… the talks, the jokes, the love we gave so freely to each other. I would give anything for one more conversation, one more hug, one more “I love you.”
I pray that you are at peace and that you are watching over all of us—wrapping your arms around our family and especially the kids, guiding and protecting them like the beautiful angel you are. We feel your absence every single day, and life will never be the same without you here.
I miss you more than words can say. I love you always and forever, sissy.
Forever in my heart, forever in my loving thoughts. We shared many memories that I will carry with me every single day. Rest in The Most High God. You was loved beyond words, missed beyond measure in all our hearts. 💜🩷
Love you,
Your Big Sister in love💜🩷
To my family, I am praying that God will give comfort in this time of sorrow. I love each of you.🕊️
God sit high upon his throne he sees and knows all that goes on. There’s no reason to say “don’t cry.” Crying simply says that you care. As you cry just pray for God is already there. He wants you to depend on him for everything you need. Oh, and don’t forget to pick up your Bible and read. He will fill that empty spot with lots of joy and love as he watches over you from heaven above.
When you’ve lost a loved one they cannot be replaced. Yet He will give you enough strength to put a smile back on your face. Time has a way of healing all wounds and broken hearts, too. Just take one day at a time and God will carry you through.
My condolences and prayers to the family. Crystal was a beautiful bright light with a smile always on her face and an infectious laugh. She will forever be missed and always remembered.
Love always
Your cousins The Patterson’s
