Patsie Griffin Gray Diamond

I started my life after High School by working in a pharmacy, Parkers Drug Store, and now have a career in pharm. packaging with my husband of 3 years Al Diamond. I have been divorced but have two wonderful, grown, children, Annie and Randy and one adorable grandson, Zachary resulting from that marriage. I am also a widow; I lost my husband, Vernie Gray after 13 years of marriage. I moved to Christiansburg after his death, where I met my soulmate, Al. We live in Dublin now and are very fortunate to work out of our home. One thing that I am most proud of, besides my lovely family, is the fact that I am a published author. If These Walls Could Talk was published last year and I have two children's books in the works now. Have now published the second novel, Angels For All Time!

Sharon Drake and I in the ninth grade, cutting out thousands and thousands of stars to win a (get this) Donny Osmond stage costume. We were best friends and had everybody we knew helping us. After a few days, we started arguing about who was helping who, so we put them all together! When we went to mail them off, my brother, Buck Griffin, and Terry Kingery, told us to put a brick in the bottom of the package! They would not check the box Terry said! Of course we didn't do that and we didn't win either, but I think a lot of people remember this from our class and looking in my yearbook, I can't tell you how many mentioned it! Sharon and I kept our best friend status, so the story is complete with a happy ending!
