Patricia Mitchell “Pat” Blount

It's hard to believe that it's been three years since you went into the arms of our Heavenly Father. Still missing you, still moving forward, and looking to the day that I will see you again. Until then, special memories and smiles. Look for the balloon today !

“When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure.” 10-13-1997

Two years have past since you left to be with our Heavenly Father. I miss you as much today, as yesterday. I am moving forward, but slowly. Missing those Lucy and Ethel moments. Look for the balloon today, with the note attached. A toast to you, with a Route 44 diet (still not) coke!

11-11-11, the start of preparations for your Eternal life in His Heavenly arms. Bittersweet memories ... looking back, you knew your journey was beginning; one of those 'need a hug' days.

“What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us.” 10-13-1997

“The soul would have no rainbow if the eyes had no tears.”

Happy Anniversary !

My angel up in heaven, I wanted you to know,
I feel you watching over me, everywhere I go.
I wish you were here with me, but that can never be,
Memories of you in my heart, that only I can see.

My angel up in heaven, I hope you understand,
That I would give anything, if I could hold your hand.
I'd hold you oh so tightly, and never let you go,
And all the love inside of me, to you I would show.
My angel up in heaven, for now we are apart,
You'll always live inside of me, deep within my heart.

Thinking of you today, as I do everyday.

I give you this one thought to keep -
I am with you still - I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awake in the morning's hush
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not think of me as gone -
I am with you still - in each new dawn.

Happy Valentine's Day

Merry Christmas ! Miss you bunches.

It's been a year since you became that special angel, the brightest star in the sky. Your passing left a big void in my life, that will never be filled. Dad and I shared good memories today, as we marked this anniversary. I'm so glad you were in our life. You were the sister and best friend that I had always longed for. Daily prayers and special intentions for you, always, Patricia Faye !

It's been a year since you went to the loving arms of our Heavenly Father. A year filled with trials, many tests, heartache and memories of happier times. Attempting to move forward without your direction. I pray that you have found peace, and are finally free from the earthly burdens that you carried with dignity. A celebration of your life, as I turn a new page in my life, in preparation for when I'm called home. I know that you have your hand on my shoulder to guide me through the rough times. Yeppers ! A Route 44 (diet?-not) coke and shrimp creole to mark this milestone in time ! I miss you so much.

If tears could build a stairway,
and memories a lane.
I would walk right up to Heaven
and bring you back again.

No farewell words were spoken,
No time to say "Goodbye".
You were gone before I knew it,
and only God knows why.

My heart still aches with sadness,
and secret tears still flow.
What it meant to love you -
No one can ever know.

But now I know you want me
to mourn for you no more;
To remember all the happy times
life still has much in store.

Since you'll never be forgotten,
I pledge to you today~
A hollowed place within my heart
is where you'll always stay.

Happy Anniversary !

Strength is what keeps me holding on; Faith is what keeps me moving along; But, Hope is what makes me alive when everything is going wrong.

Everybody falls sometimes
Gotta find the strength to rise
From the ashes and make a new beginning
Anyone can feel the ache
You think it’s more than you can take
But you’re stronger, stronger than you know
Don’t you give up now
The sun will soon be shining
You gotta face the clouds
To find the silver lining

I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn’t ever end
Even when the sky is falling
I’ve seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new
That’s what faith can do

It doesn’t matter what you’ve heard
Impossible is not a word
It’s just a reason for someone not to try
Everybody’s scared to death
When they decide to take that step
Out on the water
It’ll be alright
Life is so much more
Than what your eyes are seeing
You will find your way
If you keep believing

I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn’t ever end
Even when the sky if falling
I’ve seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken heats become brand new
That’s what faith can do

Overcome the odds
You don’t have a chance
When the world says you can’t
It’ll tell you that you can!
I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn’t ever end
Even when the sky is falling
And I’ve seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new
That’s what faith can do
That’s what faith can do!
Even if you fall sometimes
You will have the strength to rise

You can shed tears that she is gone
Or you can smile because she has lived
You can close your eyes and pray that she will come back
Or you can open your eyes and see all that she has left

Your heart can be empty because you can't see her
Or you can be full of the love that you shared
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday

You can remember her and only that she is gone
Or you can cherish her memory and let it live on
You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back
Or you can do what she would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

I see the countless
Christmas trees
around the world below
With tiny lights, like Heaven's stars,
reflecting on the snow

The sight is so spectacular,
please wipe away the tear
For I am spending Christmas with
Jesus Christ this year.

I hear the many Christmas songs
that people hold so dear
But the sounds of music can't compare
with the Christmas choir up here.

I have no words to tell you,
the joy their voices bring,
For it is beyond description,
to hear the angels sing.

I know how much you miss me,
I see the pain inside your heart.
But I am not so far away,
We really aren't apart.

So be happy for me, dear ones,
You know I hold you dear.
And be glad I'm spending Christmas
with Jesus Christ this year.

I sent you each a special gift,
from my heavenly home above.
I sent you each a memory
of my undying love.

After all, love is a gift more precious
than pure gold.
was always most important
the stories Jesus told.

Please love and keep each other,
my Father said to do.
I can't count the blessing or love
has for each of you.

So have a Merry Christmas and
Wipe away that tear
Remember, I am spending Christmas with
Jesus Christ this year

RIP....dear Patches...my friend. You were such a kind and loving, giving friend to all! May your light keep shining and WE will surely miss you.....but you're a big Bright Shiny ANGEL now!!

I met "Patches" many years ago online.Her wit & kindness and courage never ceased to amaze me,When she got too ill to be online much she still never failed to e mail here and there and let me know how things were going with her.
I will miss her very very much but I know that heaven has a new angel now...love you Patches...and prayers for those who are left behind.

I was very fortunate to become a long time friend of Patricia. I will miss you as so many others will too. Memories are to have and hold forever. You, my dear Patricia, are in my memories forever!

God needed a special angel to help keep the rest of us in line.She will be missed.

Pat,
Thank you so very much for the countless nights you gave me your undivided attention and advice. I will forever be grateful for encouraging me through all the different facets of my life's relationships. You were honest and didn't hold back. You always cared and loved me through it all no matter how bad I screwed up. You never judge me and always loved me unconditionally. I will forever remember your advice, "Follow your heart, honey."

I will love you forever, too. I miss you, but I am comforted in knowing that I will see you again in our heavenly home.

I will keep my promise to you and will be there for CeeCee always. You will forever be in our hearts. (rubbing my hands together)

My dear friend,
It has been a long hard journey for you, these past ten years, since your health started to decline. I have no regrets, for being there when you needed a shoulder, an ear, or a laugh. I will always question whether I could have done more, to make it easier. It seems like even in the darkest days, the good Lord always found a way to make you smile. Remember the broken water pipe that sprayed two inches of water over your bed, while in ICU? It was never a dull moment, with us wondering, what would be coming next … another Lucy and Ethel moment.

All the fun times ... Orange sherbet with pineapple chunks, daily runs for ‘sonic’ ice and diet coke, midnight raids on the refrigerator, old black and white movies of the 40s and 50s, and all the hours of those ‘housewife’ reality shows. The loud whistle you could do and ‘talking’ to the donkeys across the street, would get them running to the fence and talking back! These are ‘smiley times’ that can never be taken away.

I knew your frustration when you were unable to get around like you wanted. I saw your sadness when you reached out for the one thing that you longed for the most, and wiped your tears, when it seemed it was always just out of your grasp.

My heart ached, as I watched your body start to fail you, the sleepless nights, and the physical pain that only grew worse, as the days and months passed. I felt so helpless, wanting to be able to, in some way, ease what you were going through.

All the times that I was by your side, offering support, being your advocate, seems so insignificant, because you gave back to me so much more. You gave me friendship, and the love of a sister. You got me through those days when it seemed I would not get through the day, just by seeing your daily struggles. You helped me reclaim and strengthen my faith. Through you, I feel He was preparing me for my own life’s journey, and what trials I will face, I thank you for that.

You gave me memories I will cherish. I admired your strength, determination, love of life, and your ability to look forward to the next day no matter how bleak it looked. Until we meet again, my friend, party hearty, shop ‘til you drop, and “scratch, gravel, and travel”.

Pat, I will miss you. You always supported me good or bad, thick or thin. I will miss playing the games with you, talking to you, and always mistaking you for Cindy on the phone. I will stop by your FB and say hi now and again.

Cindy, Hugs to you. I'm sorry you've lost such a wonderful person in your life.

I will miss my Facebook friend so much. Patricia was always cheerful and funny. When I read about her passing on FB, I cried. Tho, we never met face to face, I have lost a dear friend. And, Heaven received a beautiful Angel.

Pat you were my mother when my own was not there for me...I will never forget that. Thank you so much for all the love and support you showed me when I needed it the most.

"Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal."
Cindy, friends, and family - may the memories you hold in your heart bring you healing and peace.

Perhaps there are no stars in the sky, but rather, openings where our loved ones shine down to let us know they are happy. ~ Eskimo Legend ~
Cindy, friends, and family - may you find comfort knowing Pat is shining on you now and will forever.

Rest in peace Patricia. You will be missed.

Cindy and Mo, I'm sadden to hear about the loss of Pat. She was such a great person with such a big heart and will be missed dearly. All of her pain and sadness is gone and she will always be watching over you. Cindy, you were and angel to Pat and I know she appreciated all the care and love you gave her in her life. You wiped many tears from her eyes, and rest assured that she will always be with you.

Patricia,

It makes me sad that even though we are related, it wasn't until we were friends on Facebook for me to get to know you better. You were a very sweet person and much loved by your family and friends. May you find eternal rest with our Savior.

With love and sympathy,
Paula Grana

Mo & Makayla and extended family... I am so sorry for your loss... you all are in my thoughts and prayers... Thank you Pat for always having that beautiful smile... RIP...
