The chilling video of Patrick's eulogy shows the teen in a pale blue dress, standing before mourners at the lectern of the Catalyst Church in Carollton, Georgia.
She said: 'I just wanted to say goodbye to my mom and James since we never got the chance to.'
Patrick called her mother a 'beautiful kind soul' and told mourners she'd always be her 'sunshine.'
Now, the same speech that drew tears from the crowd is drawing scrutiny from law enforcement.

Carroll County Sherriff's spokesperson Ashley Hulsey told NewsNation: 'It seemed odd. It was more like a speech, and at the end she said, 'I'm sorry.'
'Was that, 'I'm sorry because I may have done this,' or is it, 'I'm sorry because I was upset during this eulogy'? We may never know.'
Patrick was 16 at the time of the February 20 murders.
She reportedly called 911 after her half-sister, aged five, discovered the couple's bodies inside their Carrollton home, west of Atlanta.
Both had been shot multiple times.
Police say there were no signs of forced entry and nothing appeared stolen.

In the weeks following the murders, Patrick posted emotional tributes to her parents on social media.
She even shared a TikTok montage, saying she'd "always think about how much I needed them", NBC reports.
'From the very moment the 911 call was received, a relentless investigation began,' the sheriff's office said in a statement.
That probe eventually zeroed in on Patrick's so-called 'digital footprint.'
'When you want to post your life online, it becomes fair game,' Hulsey said.
Family members say they grew uneasy with Patrick's behaviour, especially at the funeral.
James Brock's niece, Krysten Dowda, claims that Patrick's online statements changed over time and that she 'did a crying voice but never shed a single tear.'
She told the Daily Mail: 'She fake cried at the funeral.
'The main thing… how do you not hear multiple gunshots in a small house?'
The niece also claimed she immediately saved a video of the eulogy, adding: 'I knew one day everyone would get to see this for what it was.'

In the video, Patrick addressed the congregation with what appeared to be trembling sincerity.
'Your heart will be finally healed in heaven,' she said of her stepfather.
'Although that gives me so much comfort, your life was not supposed to end there.'
While Dowda has publicly condemned Patrick, her grandfather - Kristin Brock's dad - is standing behind her.
'She swears her innocence,' Dennis Nolan told NewsNation.
'If they had something concrete, they would have arrested her a whole lot sooner.'
Patrick's dad, Doniel Patrick, was by her side when she surrendered this week and has since posted online: 'I'll always be in your corner…
'You were sent here with purpose, wrapped in grace and born to shine in ways only your soul knows how.'
Authorities say they're still searching for a motive.
Hulsey described the case as active and ongoing, warning that additional arrests could still be made.
The teen is being charged as an adult and is currently represented by a public defender.
'She's 17. She's kind of been out on her own. She's lived with different family members and moved all over the place,' Hulsey said.
'We don't know what goes through the mind of a child who wants to harm their parents.'

The US President, 79, touched down at Prestwick Airport aboard Air Force One at around 8.30pm for his five-day private visit.

The Republican chief was then whisked to his luxury Turnberry resort 20 miles down the Ayrshire coast, where he has been spotted playing golf over the weekend. But moments after Mr Trump's specially customised Boeing 747-200B jets landed, police arrested a man for alleged abusive behaviour. The man, aged 20, was next to the military airport in Ayrshire where Air Force One landed, holding a large sign. Witnesses have claimed that the writing on the placard had an offensive slur on it that was directed at Mr Trump. It is understood that the alleged incident unfolded in the Mound viewing point, which is close to Prestwick Airport. This is where a large crowd of people gathered to catch the iconic aircraft landing. A large number of officers were in the area at the time. One local said they heard a shout moments after the aircraft landed on the tarmac and saw police put the man in handcuffs. They added: "It all happened really quickly". Donald Trump tees off at luxury Turnberry course during Scots visit Officers confirmed that the man was arrested "for abusive behaviour and refusing to stop". They also issued him with a recorded police warning. Hundreds of Scots gathered to watch as the president of the free world arrived on Friday. Mr Trump spoke to members of the media after disembarking the plane, and hailed 007 legend Sir Sean Connery for helping him build his golf courses. He wasted no time in name-dropping the acting legend as he stepped off the flight from the States. Mr Trump said Connery, from Edinburgh, helped him get the permits for the two courses at the Menie Estate in Aberdeenshire that he will visit this week. The new course will be named after his mother, Mary MacLeod, who was born and raised on the Isle of Lewis. He said: 'There's no place like Turnberry. It's the best course in the world. 'My son is going to cut a ribbon for the second course in Aberdeen. 'We love you, Trump' DONALD Trump was seen blowing kisses to to supporters this morning as he teed off for a second round of golf at his luxury Turnberry resort. Three hardy Trump fans from Liverpool gathered on the dunes near the course today and shouted 'We Love you Trump' as he left the third green. Kay English, 38, said she and hubby Tom had travelled from England to show the President that he was loved by people in the UK. The pair wore 'Make England Great Again' caps modelled on the MAGA design and waved a Stars and Stripes. They held up a crude banner mocking Sir Keir Starmer which Mr Trump tried to read from the course. Kay said: "I shouted 'We love you, Trump' because I want him to realise those protests against him are the minority. "I was so happy that he blew me a kiss. I like him because he stands for the people, unlike our politicians." Mr Trump began his round around 10.45am with an entourage of 27 golf buggies following on behind him. The President was also joined by his son Eric again this morning on the Ailsa course. His other son Donald Trump Jr was also spotted on the course. The President always played first but appeared to be struggling with the brisk wind. He had to play out of a bunker on the fourth but was able to pitch from the sand in one shot. 'Sean Connery helped get me the permits, if it wasn't for Sean Connery we wouldn't have those great courses.' Despite the arrest, many Trump fans descended on the spot close to the runway from Friday morning to wait for his arrival. One supporter waved a Make America Great Again flag, while another man wore a cap with the tongue-in-cheek message Scotland Is Already Great emblazoned on it. Some youngsters were also seen sporting Mr Trump's signature red MAGA hat. The airport area was under heavy security, with scores of cops keeping a close eye on the crowds. Police snipers also stood watch on Prestwick's air traffic control tower and a scaffold platform close to where the Commander in Chief disembarked the iconic modified Boeing 747. Mr Trump's visit is expected to last until Tuesday, July 29. The President is also scheduled to meet Scottish First Minister John Swinney and Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer during his trip. A massive £5million security operation has been rolled out to ensure his safety, with around 6,000 police officers drafted in from across the UK to support the efforts. We previously told how police and security services assessed fears that Mr Trump could be assassinated during his visit to Scotland after he survived an attempt at a rally in Pennsylvania last year. David Threadgold, General Secretary of the Scottish Police Federation, said "a huge amount of threat assessment and intelligence gathering' took place ahead of the visit.
