A few months has passed, as if just days. Moral support from family and close friends, are still essential for healing. Lasting comfort and support comes from God, he says “‘For I well know the thoughts that I am thinking toward you, thoughts of peace, and not of calamity, to give you a future and a hope. (Jeremiah 29:11) Please reflect on his concern for you, and my condolence.
Fondly Remembering,

Patrick was a wonderful caring guy w a big heart!
Had a scary memory but it shows how caring and true friend Pat was.
In my high school senior year in 1994 w Amber on father s day weekend. My father was away for the weekend w guys for fishing trip. We including my brother Todd went out w bunch of our friends in car driving around town. Had to be home by 11pm curfew and Amber was spending the night here. My mom asked me where is Todd. We said no idea, he went off w other friends n cousins (Purington and Rounds cousins). Mom started to panic. Mind you-back then not very good communication access to cell phones. Pat came over n stayed w my mom all night keeping her company while waiting for answers. Pat made some calls trying to find my brother. No luck. Then at sunrise came, mom decided to drive around n look for him. Finally found him w bunch of other kids sleeping on ground at green pond (Lake Bonaparte area). Apparently my brother said they ran out of gas in middle of the night do they stayed at green pond. Mom was really furious that he couldn't just walk home or stop at neighbors nearby to call her or get help. He was grounded for a long time! Pat was really there for my mom when she needed it.
My heart goes out to my beautiful niece Saron and Great niece Amber and famiky
We always enjoyed being with Pat and family. He was always happy and fun.
I am so glad I got to see him in Naples and last year .
I know he is in a better place but it still is hard for the family not having his beautiful smile. I wish I could be there but I am in Fl and family coming for Thanksgiving.
I will be thinking of you all and look forward to seeing you all in FL
Sending much love.
