    I was so sorry to hear about Patsy's passing. She was a very special lady. She loved her children. My son Davy Ehgartner and Kevin went to school together, were in Boy Scouts. Mom and I used her floral business exclusively and were very sorry when it closed. Patsy and Deanie Ehgartner (now deceased) were friends, and I am sure they are having a nice reunion. My thoughts and prayers and with you and your family. Terra George

    We sadly didn't have the opportunity to know Patsy for a long time. The short period of time we did though was such a pleasure. Such a fun person who loved her family so much. Our deepest sympathy to her family & friends.
