Thoughts and prayers are with the family. Mrs. Patsy was such a sweet lady that everyone loved. May God give each of you comfort during this time.ÂÂ
My father, Jim Fort, a counselor at Palestine High School from 1982-89, mentioned her frequently in conversations at home. She was definitely one of the most tenured employees of PISD.ÂÂ
