Our dear sweet Patsy. She came to live at Hickory Glen shortly after we did. She had a smile that lit up a room, she loved to dance to the music we had here and then we found out she could yodel!!! She will be sorely missed by all of us. But heaven has gained a new member to the choir and she will certainly spice it up with her yodeling. Prayers for her family as they say their final goodbyes, but I know you have precious memories that will stay with you forever. We sure do.
