I am so sorry for your loss. I knew Tom and Dorothy as a therapist who worked with them after her stroke. Tom was such a kind, caring and gentle soul and he treated Dorothy like she was gold. He reminded me so much of my own grandfather and I really enjoyed when I saw them out and about yard saling or at the 4th of July in Prospect. They never forgot to ask about my family and Tom always asked about my kids by name. He was such a good man and I am so sorry for your loss. The kingdom gained an amazing angel!  With Sincere Sympathy,  Jennifer Thompson

For the family of Tom Patterson. I did not know Uncle Tom had passed away until I saw on net. I would have loved to see my cousins and I only live a mile from Riverside. I could have visited. So sorry for our loss. I worshipped Uncle Tom for being such a good man and taking such good care of Aunt Dorothy. If any family member sees this, would love to hear from any of you and would someone give my phone number to Mike please? He was so good to me when I was young, and would love to talk to him & any of you. Thank you to the fine Stofcheck-Ballinger for what I know was a lovely service and for printing this for me. Bless you, cousins. I love you all. Sherry (Organ)Coverdale.  624-475-0702 after 5PM
