The love of my life, forever until we meet again in space. . . Heaven.
James Britten Stokes
May 23, 2011
O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done;
The ship has weathered every rack, the prize we sought is won;
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring:
But O heart!
O the bleeding drops been shed,
Where on the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and now fled.
O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells;
Rise up—for you the flag is flung—for you the bugle trills;
For you bouquets and ribboned wreaths—for you the shores a-crowding;
For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning;
Here Captain! dear Sir!
This arm beneath your head;
It is some dream that on the deck,
You’ve fallen cold and tears shed.
My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still;
My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will;
The ship is anchored safe and sound, its voyage closed and done;
From fearful trip, the victor ship, comes in with object won;
Exult, O shores, and ring, O bells!
But I, with mournful tread,
Walk the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen, tol'd and tears shed.
(after Walt Whitman)

Every time I think about how much I will miss him I remind myself how incredibly lucky I was to have known him. I learned so much from him! I hope he knows how much I appreciate his help.

I remember many fun conversations with Pat at agility class, oyster roasts, and when grooming his crazy Bouviers. He sometimes made comments that were a bit blunt to say the least, but he was always honest to a fault and always made me laugh like crazy. There was no wondering where you stood with Pat, there was no "fluff" and that's a quality I always loved about him. He loved his Bouviers and he had a sunroom that held various fish and plants, and I could have spent a week in there listening to all his knowledge about it all! I will miss you Pat. Mary, you are a great friend and I am there for you. Stay strong.

I have the most wonderful picture of Pat in my mind . . . crossing over the Rainbow Bridge and being met by Oli and his dear father.

What a full and happy life you have lived, Pat!
I will always see flashes of your radiant smile and hear your laughter ringing throughout Wildwood. Thank you for your unbridled hospitality during fantastic oyster roasts! Thank you for your patience, kindness and generousity when my son purchased his first car from you. Rest in Peace my friend! You have earned your place in Heaven.

I had no idea Mary and Pat had been married that long. i'll always remember Pat's salt water fish tank and his uncanny resemblance to Ernest Hemingway... RIP
