Mrs.Lewallen was one of the funniest women I ever had the pleasure of meeting. My first memories of her are in the library in elementary school. She touched countless lives and her light can never be extinguished. I can still see her singing ” under the spreading chest nut tree” and teaching us the motions. My prayers for comfort, peace, and huge hugs to Eddie, Scott, Uvonna and their families at this time.
I want to extend my sincere sympathy for your family’s loss. Pat was a very special person. She was very talented. She had a beautiful voice and I loved the times when she and I sang in the same group. She had such a wonderful laugh. She was always so cheerful and happy. May God bless and comfort you in this time of sorrow.
Loved working with Pat at Early Elem!! She was highly effective and help ful both students and teachers in her role as librarian and always greeted me with a kind word, a big smile and I loved her infectious laugh!! I never worked with a better librarian after I left Early. But more than my admiration for her as a co- worker, I admired her role as mother and devotion to family! I will cherish her in my memories and extend heartfelt sympathy to you three adult children and your families. May your family unit be drawn closer together and remain that way in the days ahead. Love to all.
