Boyd and Julianna, I remember meeting your Mother at Spring Valley Methodist Church when Ray and I were a young bride and groom. Your mother was an outstanding leader and a wonderful Christian Lady.
I am so sorry to hear of your great loss.
Prayers for you and your family.

Your mother was such an engaging, wonderful woman who helped my mother and me with the planning of my first wedding in 1976. I still remember when my mother saw a picture of the wedding cakes she had brought in from East Texas, she said “we HAVE to have one of those!!” It was truly the most beautiful wedding cake I’d ever seen. Mary Helena Patterson had a beautiful, entrepreneurial spirit, and loved what she did. May you now Rest In Peace, having lived a full & wonderful life. Debbie Hensley Dryden
Boyd and Julianna, I am very sorry for your loss. I have memories of the two of you playing in your front yard in Greenville. After all of us moved to Richardson, your mom helped plan my wedding in 1969. She also taught me how to cut wedding cakes so I could help her at some of the receptions she oversaw. What a fun lady! I appreciated her artistic abilities and her sense of creativity.
