Melisa and Jeff, Greg and I want to let you know how much your mom meant to us. We will always remember her smile and her laugh. I loved to hear talk and her sense of humor. Our years growing up with all of you have been a lasting memory for us. I remember her, your dad and our parents playing bridge till all hours of the night! It was so much fun and we will always look back with fond memories of Mrs. Knotts and all of you. Prayers continue for you and your family.

Worked with Patsy at DHHS. She and Marga Keller and I were lunch buddies for a long time in an 11th floor conference room. Patsy was a very kind and intelligent person. She loved her family and always talked about the family beach vacations. I am sorry I lost contact with her last year and did not know where she was. I will miss her smile and cheerful disposition. My sympathy to all of her family. Daisy Massey
