    I was sadden today when I learned that Pat had passed away. I only came to know Pat a short time ago and learned we had a family connection. Her grandmother and my great-grandmother was Tennie Watson Martin. The few times I visited with her it was a joyous time talking about our ancestors. May God bless the family during this time of great loss. Pat was a lovely, fun lady and I am very glad to have known her. ~ Linda Watson Dedmon, Josephine, Texas

    Pat was a very Special Lady. Was always kind and thoughtful to everyone she came in contact with. Jimmie and Patti I know how very much you are going to miss her but she is singing and dancing with some of the finest Angels in Heaven right now one of them being your brother Eric who was taken away from her and your dad way to soon.
