Tom,

I am sorry I could not attend the funeral as we were away and just returned. I am at a loss for words and I know nothing I say can make your pain go away. I hope that you and Val will be able to find solace in your memories of a young man who, from what I have read, was a wonderful person. My thoughts are with you.

Dear Tom, Val, Mike and Katie,
We grieve with you. We also join in celebrating the life of your dear son and brother. What a wonderful testament to Patrick and your entire family that so many people are filling your home and hearts ... and that the tributes on these pages tell how Patrick lit up so many lives with his humour and generosity. I'm glad Kevin is there with you. In Melbourne this Saturday his soccer team is holding a minute's silence in Pat's honour.

I can only say that I am so very sorry for this irreparable loss, my thoughts and prayers are with you and hope that you find the strength to go on with the love and support of your family and the many friends your son had.

Pat lit up my life as a camper at Pickering Sports Camp and then I was fortunate enough to reunite with him in our adult lives as friends. To his family, I am so sorry for your loss. He is a phenominal man, I was so lucky to know. He will forever be a smiling face in my memories.

Tom, I am so sorry for you and your family. It seems so unfair that this has happened to one of the nicest (well except for Gate 4s...), most caring, and most generous person I know. If it were at all humanly possible I know you would have driven from Barbados to Toronto to give Patrick or any of us a ride if we needed it. You're always looking out for everybody. I don't know how you begin to get over this but I do look forward to hearing you laugh again. I hope that day comes soon. Vera.

To the O'Sullivan Family,

I am extremely sorry for the sudden loss of your son and brother.

"What moves through you is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, you may not understand why Pat left this earth so soon, or why he left before you were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, you begin to remember not just that he has died, but that he lived. And that Pat's life gave you all memories too beautiful to forget".

Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Patrick was my son's first friend, becoming acquainted in the spring of 1988. Those "absorbent years" were filled with wonder and joy! I recall the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles craze, video games, invitations to the ever generous O'Sullivan pool and home, road hockey games that included "Forever Young" dads - beautiful memories filled with smiling faces of our closeknit street community and neighbourhood kids whose futures looked as bright as the morning sun. Personally, I have been devastated by the sudden departure of Paddy, but find comfort in the bosom of The Lord whose agape love and grace are available to all of us. Tom, Valerie, Michael & Katie: what words can I offer you to ease your pain? Look to God: "Casting all you care upon Him, because He cares about you." (1 Peter 5:7).

Rest in Peace, Pat. See you in heaven!

With deepest, heartfelt condolences - Mary K, Dace Maguire & Kotsopoulos Family
