It always seems that words are just inadequate when we say we are sorry to hear of someone's passing. And yet we do want to say that we are sorry about Pat's passing. That we know he will leave a void in your lives but also that he has left memories and you will always have them and they will comfort you during your sad times.

Martha remembers when he and Nancy were dating, I have a picture in my mind of them standing in front of Nancy's home. And then those years of my growing up and how much Nancy and Pat and then their children were so much a part of my and my family's life. These are memories I cherish.
