Sad News at Clothesline Club

Yesterday was our Clothesline Club at Quilts Etc. in Sandy. The very first thing that Sandra (our cute little leader) said was... "I have some very sad news! One of our members passed away last week unexpectedly." We soon learned it was our sweet friend... Patsy Griffith. She is the darling blonde in this picture below sitting beside her dear friend Ashley. She was just 51!


This is Patsy's last quilt that she had just finished since our last month's meeting.



Patsy was a beautiful quilter and her work always showed that. She was a very sweet, talented person. She will certainly be missed by us all and all those that knew and loved her. Our hearts and prayers go out to her family and friends at this time.


To all of you out there who might be reading this right now...
Please go "HUG" those that are near and dear to you. Be sure to tell them that you "LOVE" them. Take time to be with them and make those special memories that will last forever. You may not remember down the road how they looked or what they said... but you will always remember how you felt. We never know how long we have!


A special thanks to you all for being my special friends!
Hugs and loves ~
Rae Ann

I am so sorry to hear about your friend. I lost my BFF, who was also only 51, several years ago. I really miss her so much. And I do remember her words, her smile and laughter, but mostly I miss her friendship. One day there will be a grand reunion in Heaven.

So sorry to hear about the loss of your quilting friend. Sandy, you say? That's where my sister lives. We'll have to get together the next time I'm out for a visit.

Thinking of you RaeAnn on the sad loss of your friend. Some people come into our lives for a reason and when the go they are missed greatly but leave having enriched your life in some way. Your friend has done that for you.

Sorry for your loss - it is sad when someone so young passes - we all need to hug our loved ones a bit tighter tonight.

My prayers are with you my dear friend Rae Ann. If I was there, I'd give you a big hug, too.

I'm so sorry for your loss. That is WAY too young to go. It is so hard to be left behind with a huge hole where a dear friend used to be.
God be with you till you meet again
