Truman Jr., Danny, and Alan my thoughts and prayers are with you. I loved your parents very much and they were a blessing to all who met them. Your dad is now with your mom and all their friends that have gone on before them, including my parents. We will see them one day and there will be a great reunion of the Patterson bunch.

I hold all the many memories of the times he made me laugh, him praying for me, comforting me and just showing his love. He loved teaching and preaching the gospel. Him and opal loved their children and grandchildren and great grand kids tremendously. So thankful I had the honor to have been apart of their life. Bro. Hance made a remarkable impact on my son the last visit. Nicholas said mom I have to go see him, I promised him I would see him again. I told Nicholas that he will be seeing him again. Love always Bunny and Nicholas,
