Mrs. Evelyn was an amazing woman. I didn't know her long, but we would often talk about gospel music and watch cooking shows. It was a honor and a pleasure taking care of her. She will truly be missed and always remembered. To the family you are all in my prayers. May God bless and keep you and may heaven smile upon you all.

The Patrick Family has been a major factor in all of my youth memories... I will never forget the support Mrs Patrick provided my family when I lost my mother. GOD has taken his angel home to glory and I just thank the LORD for allowing her to be a part of my life for that time! Mr Patrick my love and prayers are with you sir. Kiya Zarah and Khaleed love you all and I will continue to pray for your strength. Mrs Patrick... Thank you. Miss you... Happy homecoming.
