Time for me to go now, I won't say goodbye;

Look for me in rainbows, way up in the sky.

In the morning sunrise when all the world is new,

Just look for me and love me, as you know I loved you.

Time for me to leave you, I won't say goodbye;

Look for me in rainbows, high up in the sky.

In the evening sunset, when all the world is through,

Just look for me and love me, and I'll be close to you.

It won't be forever, the day will come and then

My loving arms will hold you, when we meet again.

Time for us to part now, we won't say goodbye;

Look for me in rainbows, shining in the sky.

Every waking moment, and all your whole life through

Just look for me and love me, as you know I loved you.

Just wish me to be near you,

And I'll be there with you.

The Family of Mrs. Cornelia Patterson wish to thank all of you for your

support, donations and prayers during this difficult time of loss. We want

to express our heartfelt gratitude and say thank you to each one of you.

Please know that your many acts of kindness will never be forgotten.

“One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in

the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of

the Lord and to seek him in his temple. For in the day of trouble he

will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his

sacred tent and set me high upon a rock.”

Psalm 27:4-5

Mrs. Cornelia Patterson was born March 18, 1933 in Allendale County,

also of Columbia; eleven grandchildren: Latoya Brown, ShaKalle D.

dear friends.

For all you were to me in life

And all the joy you brought,

Your memory is with me in every single thought.

The pain I felt at losing you

Will never go away,

But knowing that

You're in my heart

Helps me through each day.

When you were here I always felt

That nothing could go wrong.

But you're still my inspiration,

And your memory keeps me strong.

And though my heart is heavy

It's also full of love,

And that's enough to comfort me

While you're in heaven above.
