Patti Yvonne Vanzant (Dingus)

Patti (Dingus) Vanzant – Duffield, VA
“God saw you getting tired, and a cure was not to be, so he put his arms around you, and whispered, “Come to me.” With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away; although we loved you dearly, we knew you could not stay. Your golden heart stopped beating; your body laid to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, he only takes the best.”
