Patrick Coughlin

I will keep Patrick's wife, Beth, his children and his parents, Francis and Mary, in my prayers and warmest thoughts during this Christmas period.

To my big brother, my hero my second "Dad". I miss you more than I ever could have imagined possible. Christmas day was supposed to be such a special day. I will never forget you walking me to my car Christmas Eve, lecturing me a little bit about Kyler and inviting me over for Lobster. Little did I know that that would be the last time I would get that famous hug and side swipe cheek kiss. Oh Patrick, not an hour goes by that I dont think of you and get choked up in my throat and fight back...

Patrick Michael Coughlin, My love,husband, best friend and everything I could ever ask for in a man. You were the man of my dreams and I am so greatful for the years that we had together. You were my everything. Words can not express how great my love is for you. There is a huge hole in my heart now that will be there forever. We had it all together and I will always miss your companionship. Your kisses, hugs, laughter, compassion, faithfulness and love for me and the kids will forever be...

Patrick Michael, My beautiful, wonderful Son. How can I possibly say what's in my heart? The day you left us I thought my world ended. The pain was more than I thought I could take. Why on Christmas day would God take the most wonderful father, husband, son, brother and friend to all? It's a year later and still no answers. I guess God had a plan for you which I'm sure you are fulfilling. Maybe it was to help coach the Lions into the playoffs. Mission accomplished. Whatever it was I know we...

Dear Patrick, My son, you have left a huge hole in my heart. My life has not been the same without you. I was always so very proud of you. Your focus on family, faith, friends and your chosen career was what you were all about. Oh, yes football too! The way you lived your life you showed the rest of us how it should be done. So full of wisdom, caring and understanding. You always gave so freely of yourself to help and better others. Your compassion and humor was reflected in everything you...

Pat, It has been one year since you were suddenly taken away from us. The shock of that phone call still remains with me, Unbelievable and so helpless, too late to say goodbye. I will never forget that Christmas day! It has been very hard to get over the fact that you are no longer around to talk and to laugh with. The Saturday morning phone calls don't happen anymore. I wish they would. Your dad misses you so much. I can feel his pain! We are doing our best to get through our days as you...

WE THOUGHT OF YOU TODAY
We thought of you with love today. But that is nothing new.
We thought about you yesterday. And days before that too.
We think of you in silence. We often speak your name.
Now all we have is memories. And your picture in a frame.
Your memory is our keepsake. With which we'll never part.
God has you in his keeping. We have you in our heart.
- You are missed dearly, our good friend!
- Beth, you & the kids are in our thoughts...

I miss you my friend - a day hasn't gone by that I don't think about you. Miss You and Love You.

Beth and kids, you are always on my mind now. your husband/ father was an amazing man. He taught me when he was a teacher at Pine Street. I'll never forget him and his jokes. your always in my thoughts and my moms as well.
