As the wife of her nephew, aunt Pat has always been so sweet to me throughout the years. My sympathy and love goes out to her family and friends. She will be greatly missed.
Keith , So sorry to hear of the loss of your mom. Prayers of comfort through your grieving process.
I called her my Mama Moyers, since she was my best friend’s mother, and I knew her since I was a young girl . That’s how she treated me, like a daughter, always very loving and affectionate, caring and she was so easy to talk to. She had that warmth about her that made you feel at home in her presence. I loved her smile and will miss her laugh most of all and her hugs. My husband Tommy also got to meet her and he also fell in love with her wonderful soul. I will always wish that I had talked to her just one more time. Some day Mamma Moyers we will meet again. Until then please give my mamma a hug for me in heaven. I will love you for always. Rest In Peace sweet lady. To my sister Amber Eldridge ( Rog, Courtney, Landon, Harper, Blake, Tony, John, Keith and Phelicia and your children ) and all of Pat’s family and friends , my heartfelt condolences are extended along with big warm hugs. You are all family to me and I love you and will be praying for each of you during this very difficult time of sadness and grieving. May our Father God wrap his arms around you and may you truly feel his comfort, peace and love embrace you . ???????????
Pat was a wonderful lady. We would spend time talking and laughing together at Amber’s house. She will be greatly missed, but knowing she is celebrating in heaven is awesome.

Pat always presented herself with grace and the utmost class. A smile seemed to be a permanent part of her makeup. She was a lady.
Pat was such a kind an gracious lady. I was in the Sunday School Class with both of them for years until my health kept me from going. David was just as kind as Pat. I am so sorry for your loss of your Mother.
I wish to extend my condolences to the precious family. We will miss Pat so much. Prayers for comfort.
