A HARMON BURIAL
THANK YOU
PATRICIA ‘PAT’ JOHNSON GRAY
As a family, the last few months have changed our lives eternally. We would not have made it through this tough time without the support of family and friends, old and new.
The family of the late Pa- tricia (Pat) Johnson Gray would like to thank you for your prayers, thoughtful- ness, generosity and sup- port during this truly difficult time.
To lose such a loving and dedicated one is one of the hardest ordeals in this life- time. A piercing pain that is paralyzing, but her legacy will live on.
Your kindness has been told to God, who we pray will shower His blessings on each of you.
The Gray, Jones, Johnson and Moore family.
