PRAYERS FOR FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND RIP 👪 🙏 ❤
Loving, smiling and always willing to help
Some day my dear Paty, I know we will be able to hug again like this. My heart and prayers are with your family.
Trish and I met and became friends before she started dating Chris. She came to stay with me in Elm City, NC. We had so many great times. That year is up there with my favorite moments in time. We were known as the “Mix-n- Match girls. We were the same size. We wore the same size, (size 0) and we even wore the same size shoes. So my closet was hers; her closet was mine. We were the “best” dressed. She was working at the Cookie Company when she met Chris. Chris was working at the Radio Shack. I would pick her up after work. She would always say he was tall and handsome, and she was going to get him to take her out on a date. How? Through cookies and lots of questions about radios. She didn’t like having to spend money buying something at the Radio Shack, but she was talking to Chris too much while he was on the job. She had to make a purchase so his boss would think she was a real customer. Next thing I knew, I was her maid-of-honor, wearing one of her formal dresses – and of course, it fitted perfectly. She was a brides maid in my wedding. I wore her beautiful shoes and veil in my wedding. I could write a book about our crazy adventures. Although we were busy on jobs and tending to family, we knew we always forever friends. I miss her so much. It is hard knowing she is not here. I loved Trish, my true friend- known as the Guatemala jumping bean.

Q: What 3 words best describe Patricia and why?
A: Paty was always: very cheerful and smiling, a great cousin and a wise sister, but above all, very sincere. As girls, she always lent her toys and was always with a smile. Today I see her memories of those who were blessed and had the opportunity to be close by her side, and I see that this gift that God gave her was light for many people and joy. Thank you Paty for your love for your way of being I love you cousin rest in peace.
To my loving departed cousin. God we are going to miss you. The laughter and love you showed us was tremendous. You had so much more to give us and your loss left us with a great void. She was a helper, a caring mother, and a loving wife. It saddest me that you never get to see your children and grandchildren that you cherish dearly. Your husband Chris and your sister Milly will always keep you in their heart and never forget you. Patty Kline was close to what I had to a sister. As one of the few family members to have stayed with us. My mother is in silent grief. I take solace that you are at peace and looking at us still guiding and helping us. I know you with my father and uncles and all the family we have seen gone. My cousin enjoy life and never gave up. She fought hard through so much hardship and we as a family are here for her. We miss her and we always love her.

Q: What will you never forget about Patricia?
A: We had a sleepover for Samantha’s birthday in elementary school and Patricia let us stay up all night making crafts and having the best time. Some of the girls went to sleep but Patricia stayed up the whole time with the ones who wanted to stay up. It was 6am before we went to sleep and I remember her letting the girls who stayed up pick which donut they got for breakfast and saying “Well the other girls didn’t party with us all night so they don’t get to pick.” She was always around throughout life since Samantha and I grew up together and she always made sure to tell me how proud of me she was and give me the biggest hugs. She will definitely be missed!
Que Dios fortalezca sus corazones en estos duros momentos. Yo recuerdo a Patty siempre muy alegre y sonriente, y el amor que tuvo se refleja en su amada familia. Un abrazo.
I worked with Patricia for a very long time. We had alot of laughs together. She was such a loving and giving person. I was going to be out of town on Mother’s day one year when my daughter Sierra was in the 3rd grade. She was having a Mother’s day special event at school and Trish stepped right in and went in my place. My daughter and I will never forget it. She recorded that special day for me. For her I will be forever grateful. ❤️ you always my dear friend
It was such a great joy working with Trish. So many wonderful memories.

It is never easy when you loose a loved one. My heart has been so heavy. God has blessed me to be a part of so many families. Now one of my families is broken.
My dear friend Patricia Kline has been called home to receive her eternal reward. Trish I love you & miss you so much. I know that I will see you again. Rest easy my sweet friend. Love, Donna Davis
My dear friend! Love her so much! So thankful for all the years of friendship! We started working together in the 1990s at the health department! She came right up to me and wanted to know what was for lunch! Pretty sure she was like” okay, lets go!” Our friendship just grew from there! I’m going to miss hearing her say “buddy” or hey “Olive” ! LOL to “Olive”! She once told me that the way I was dressed made me look like Olive Oyl! I can still her that giggle of hers that day! And yes, the way I was dressed did make me look like Olive! Never lived that down with my friend! Gonna miss Trish! Grateful for our friendship. Love you Trish!!❤️❤️❤️
Today, my love, my best friend, my wife, and the mother of my children, was called home to be with Jesus. I thank God for allowing me to share her life. It was the best 37 years. Words cannot express how much you mean to me. You raised two children that have grown up to be adults that we can and are proud of. I miss you. I love you. Te quiero mucho.
Dios te bendiga y te proteja y con cuidado
Chris
