The 70’s. My big sister Patsy, we called her, designed my dresses for Prom and mistress of ceremony for a school event, “Arabian Nights “
She was so talented! Designer, seamstress, model. 🥲

My sister taught me me to sew, about hygiene, and she was my transportation to get out of the house. My mom used to say,” if you can work it out, you can go”. I the said, “Patsy! then we’d get one of her boyfriends to drive us. As a result I interviewed and was selected for the Georgia Governor’s Honor Program. I owe some of my success to her. I was her first sister ( daughter). She was the consummate big sister friend while I was in high school getting me to football and basketball games. She was also a friend to my friends
She was a bridesmaid in my wedding and just generally supportive of me. She designed and helped make my prom dress in 1977!
You will be missed
Your youngest sister. Love always
