She couldn’t have dreamed for a better husband and Austin, she was delighted to see you get married to sweet Barbara! She will continue to look out for you all from heaven! She was devoted to all of you! God bless us all as we go through these rough days missing her so much, but I know she would want us to go on and be happy!

David, Austin, and Samantha,
Your wife and mother was one of the sweetest ladies I ever knew. She was always willing to help on any project, organization, team, and one on one. She always had a smile on and I never heard her say a harsh word to anyone. I truly was blessed to have had her as my roommate when she went with the Mission Outreach ministry to Guatemala. We shared some special moments. Our Mayan friends fell in love with her as so did everyone at St. Mary of the Miraculous Medal Catholic Church. She will truly be missed.
Your family is in my prayers,
Sally Davila

My deepest sympathy to the family. You will be in my prayers. I worked with Patty at Stewart what seems like a lifetime ago. This is heartbreaking. So very sorry!
Rest in Peace my sweet friend, you will stay in our hearts and memories forever. It’s so difficult to accept and understand. I know we must keep our faith that God has a plan and accept what we can’t change. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family in this time of sorrow and loss.

My heart breaks for Patty’s precious family. She was a wonderful, smart and funny woman. I was blessed to know her and will cherish the memories I have. Prayers for David, Austin and Samantha, may you find peace during this difficult time.
Dear Patty, David, Sam, and Austin and other family,
Patty was a wonderful and amazing lady. She was an amazing boss and friend, more like another mom to me. Thankfully I was able to get to know her and develop good friendships with her and the other Stewart Title Texas City ladies.
I know this is hard for you guys and I can’t imagine all of the pain you feel. I know with time it will not be as painful because you’ll remember all of the good memories. And Sam, you guys had a special relationship and you will always be able to cherish that. Stay strong! I pray for healing and peace during this time.
I will not say goodbye but see you soon. Love you Patty, always.
Sincerely,
Courtney Holbrook and family

He says do not be afraid, he will grasp your right hand and give you power beyond what is normal to help heal your broken heart. Please allow him to replace your tears of sorrow with tears of joy as you meditate on your precious memories. ~ 2 Corinthians 4:7; Psalm 145:18, 19; Isaiah 41:13
I pray that after you see our Lord , give Him thanks and praise that you will look for beloved Vicki who recently preceded you as I know she will be happy to see you in heaven !!
