Mrs. Keesee was an absolute delight to know. I'll truly miss her in church and I'll really miss her hospitality at Christmas when we'd deliver poinsettias to Masonic widows. I'm truly sorry for your loss.
Pat was a highly professional, gracious and kind woman and counselor.
I was blessed to have had Pat and Coach Kessee in my life. They were teaching/coaching at LKHS when I was a student. Years later, I had the pleasure of getting to know Pat as an adult. What wonderful people they were! I'm very sorry for your loss.
Sending love out to all Keesee family members in this trying time, and sending prayers too that this beautiful woman is now at peace. May God Bless You, Aunt Patricia!
To the family of Pat Keesee,
I was so sorry to hear of your loss. I first met Pat when I worked in the L-K High School Cafeteria. She was a lovely lady. May God wrap you in his arms and comfort you as only he can. You are in my prayers and thoughts.

Pat was such a wonderful lady. I enjoyed working with her at L-K. She was loved by all. May God give you children and grandchildren peace and comfort at this time.
Prayers of peace and comfort as you hold your precious memories close to your heart in the difficult days ahead.
Patricia (as I called her through our years at THS) and I were friends and neighbors growing up in Talco. We had some really special memories together. My deepest condolences to her family.
Sincerely, Carolyn
My condolences to the family.
Many prayers and much love to this very special family—Randy and Mary Ann Brock
My thoughts and prayers are with you. I did not know Patricia, but thought highly of her mother, Wilma Ryan Townsend, while she lived in Paris after her marriage to our friend, Judge Cedric Townsend. She spoke often of her children and grans.
Mrs.Keesee was my role model. Always happy with a great spirit. You will be so missed. God be with your family.
I am deeply sorry for your loss and will cherish many wonderful memories of times spent with my dear friend Pat and husband Bill. Because of my own health I will not be able to be with you all at time. know that I love each of you and pray God will give you strength and peace of mind. Betty
