Kerry, Bob & I were so sorry to hear of Patrick's death. We enjoyed meeting him and boating with you on Canyon Lake. He was a very nice young man.

When we were younger I remember many days just talking, playing the violin or figuring out the ins and outs of computers. He taught me so many things that I will never be able to forget. I regret that we only started to reconnect. Patrick was a brilliant mind, a loving soul, and one of the most loving, caring and compassionate people that I have been able to meet. My condolences to the family and may Patrick rest in peace.

I'm so sorry, Kerry. I will always remember him as the little boy, I used to babysit. He was so adorable, and so sweet and loving. I dont think he had a mean bone in his body. I didnt get to know the man he grew up into, but I'm sure he hadnt changed. I'm sure he knew how much you loved him and how proud of him you were. Love to you both.

May Patrick rest in peace secured in Gods loving arms.

Mrs. McDowell/Mr. Wallace,
My thoughts and prayers go out to you. Though I did not have the pleasure of meeting your son, I am a friend of Freedom Group. Losing a child is one of the most painful and difficult experiences anyone can experience. I offer you hope that the pain will ease with time, having been through this experience myself. My daughter went Home just over 3 years ago, she would be 21 this year. Remember the good and put aside the rest. May God wrap you in His arms and give you peace. Should you need someone to talk to who has lived through this pain, please feel free to email me at [email protected]. God Bless! Virginia
