PATRICK,
Some days are better than others,
Some are hard to bear,
Some days go by so quickly,
Some are full of despair.
It seems the best days have gone by,
I think about you so,
The time you spent with others; we had to let you go.
One day will soon be here;
We can leave all our troubles behind,
to walk along side you until the end of time.

Love and miss you so
Teresa ( Resa)

Hey Patrick,

You definitely be missed by us physically; but, memories of you will never leave us. When Tony B. and I got a chance to visit you, it was shocking that you immediately recognized me in that dark room. We had a chance to chill and go back to the day when we were younger in Elkhardt and Wythe. Those times were filled of fun and joy. I hope that I can leave a similar legacy of love when my time to passover comes. Rest in peace!!!

Well "PL" (a nickname from your inner circle during the Designer Jeans era, fun times at the Clubs, etc. and other adolesent moments we shared that will forever be with us) your Homegoing was awesome. A lot of nice things were said.

As we became Family Men we didn't get to see each other as much as we first did because of this responsibility and our careers.

However, when time did allowed and we crossed paths we were always excited to see each other. I still have the picture that me, you, Sherron, Tony and Tarah took at the AWB show earlier this year.

Well what I want say is Rest In Peace "PL"......and may The Creator bless your whole family.

It is with great remorse that I submit my condolenses in the loss of Patrick Lewis. I just found out tonight of his passing and I'm deeply saddened. Patrick and I coached little league football together at Reams Road Association. I saw him several weeks ago and we had a brief discussion on his son and how he was doing in college. To the family I say be strong and remember the good times we all shared with Patrick.

To the Lewis and Evans family:

Words cannot express the pain I felt when I heard of your loss. Rest assure that God will wrap his loving arms around you and your family. Patrick was always mannerable and he always had a humbleness about him. The Lewis family has always been like family to me. We go as far back as Forest Hill Avenue. May God continue to comfort you during these difficult times. Share the love Patrick gave you,feed and nuture it with your care, grow it with devotion and spread it to others everywhere.

To my dearest friend Glenda, her immediate family and the Lewis family: I had the pleasure of meeting Patrick on one occasion at a family cookout. From that one meeting it was evident that he was a true family Man and the love that he and his family shared was visible. My thoughts and prayers continue to be with the family throughout this time and I pray that God will magnify the many wonderful ways that Patrick touched the lives of everyone he came in contact with.

Darryl Branch

My deepest sympathy and heart felt prayers go out to the Lewis family. I just found out of Patrick's passing about 1/2 hour ago. I can barely type this message because my fingers are trembling and my eyes are filled with tears. Fourth grade, Blackwell Elementary, thats how long I've known and considered Patrick a dear friend. From the moment I met him I could tell that he was a genuinely good person with the kindest of hearts.

Eventhough him and I lost contact with one another over the years, every now and then our paths would cross. In an instant our friendship bond would kick into overdrive and it felt as if we had never missed a day without seeing each other. Seeing him would always brighten my day. Patrick had that effect on people!

I will surely miss him.

Sherron,

Don’t cry

Don't cry upon my passing
I've lived a long and satisfying life
I have raised two beautiful children
With the most adorning wife

My life was full of memories
I shared with each of you
So do not cry upon my passing
Remembering will keep you from feeling blue

My stories will live on forever
Or as long as you allow them to
So wipe away those weeping tears
And remember I love you

On this day of mourning
Think not of pain and sorrow
For I am watching over you
Today and all tomorrows

This day should be of celebration
Remembering what use to be
For I have always cherished you
As much as you have cherished me

I will always be there
Nightly when you pray
So don't cry upon my passing
We'll be together again someday

Life is for the living
Memories should never die
Think back on all the time we've shared
And remember, please don't cry

Sherron, I was so shocked to here about your loss I am thinking of you and if you need anything let me know.
