John Thomas Patzer

My deepest sympathies to the family. Losing a loved one is so hard. Our comforter Jehovah God assures us that he is near to those broken at heart; and those crushed in spirit he saves. (Psalm 34:18) His Word also assures us that death was never intended to be something mankind would experience. What's even more comforting is his promise at Isaiah 26:19 where He promises us that our dead loved "ones will live again. They will awake and cry out joyfully." May your hearts be comforted with these beautiful Scriptures in this sad time. My prayers are with you.

Mrs. Patzer and Diane, I'm sure that we met in Orchard Ridge during my teaching days in the Jr/Middle School days from 1963-1974. MY condolences to all of you on the passing of John. Those difficult last days with 'AZ' should not blot out the good memories of years before. My prayer is for your comfort in the LORD Jesus Christ. William E. Kuenzi Jr.

Arlene-I'm sorry to learn of your loss and your husband John's struggle with AZ. I have great memories of you from the "1980's" when we worked together I always considered you to be a wonderful and interesting person! So happy you have a large family to provide support after losing your partner of 63 years. Take care.

Sorry to hear of John's passing. We have lots of good memories when he worked at Devil's Lake and helped us with our house. We still have his beautiful artwork in our home. Tom and Jean Brockley

Arlene: Sorry my message below didn't include my name. I'mthinking of you. Dick Voigt
