As the Bible says, for you,
“I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:
Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing (2 Timothy 4:7-8).”
Thanks Pat, for just being you.

Was truly shocked to hear the news of Aunt Pat’s passing. I am confident she is with Uncle Roger now. She was kind, loving, and generous. I will miss my conversations with her. My deepest condolences to my cousins and their families. God speed.

Our sympathy to the Tomlin Family. Mrs. Tomlin was a wonderful woman and did a fantastic job of keeping Joel Hall Cemetery beautiful. She was able to assist anyone seeking the location of their loved ones she knew the cemetery so well. During Pat’s life she touched many lives and will be remembered with fond thoughts. May your golden memories bring you comfort she loved her family dearly. The Messersmith-Plopper Family.
