Patrick, here we are another year has passed and still you are missed an ungodly amount. I so wish I could see you're, face hear you're voice, smell or touch you. Somedays are harder than others but on a regular basis you are here in our lives. You're memory is very alive in our household. I love you forever and you will always be my first everything especially love.

Dear Patrick, It has 16 long years without your smiling face. Not a day goes by that you don't cross my mind. I so often hope to see you in my dreams, sometimes you are there and other times you are not. In those moments I see you there is never enough time to say all the things I want to say to you. Just know that you will always have my heart and love and there will never be a day you are forgotten. I love and miss you dearly it has been a long 16 years without you. All my love Sandy

Patrick today as you celebrate another birthday in heaven know that we still love and miss you. Brandon and I hope you like the flowers and balloon on your headstone. Still not a day goes by that we don't miss you terribly. So many times I wish you back here so we can have just one more day. I love you. Happy 45th birthday

Patrick this year I finally wet to the fireworks and enjoyed myself. I felt as if you were right beside me as we watched the sky light up with all the beautiful colors. I imagioned holding your hand and stealing those moments of looking at you with amazement. I would give anything to have just one of those times back even if it were only for a brief time. You were my True North you were the one who would try and point me in the right direction when i seemed to be losing my way. I miss you more and more everyday and on those hard days when I feel I could just give up I think about the circimstance that I am in today because you are not here and I continue on. We together have an amazing young man and I know he needs me. I will love you till my last breath and then I will love you even longer. Until we meet again my love.

Patrick has and will always have my heart. Not a day goes by that he isn't on my mind. I carry so many memories of him that even now he can make my dark days bright. I wish I could have one more second, minute, hour, day with him to tell him just what it meant to love him for me. His smile was contagious and his shyness was so sweet. I will forever carry you with me Pat. Missing you everyday.
