Roy Miller will give an eulogy of Patterson's life. Alice Bell will read her composition, "Ode to a Confederate Soldier" and Dana Stubbs will render, "I AM THE SOUTH!" Megan Wilkinson will "lay the wreath". Others on the program include Forrest Green, Rob Jones, Mark Barry and Ronny Mathews.

The public is invited to attend the memorial, at about 1:30 PM.
