To my dearest Uncle Pat, I miss you so much. I thought you would be around forever, loving me and my family unconditionally. I promise I will take good care of my mom and always be there for her, It is going to be hard for us without you but I promise to continue to make you proud. I am so grateful I always told you that I loved you every time we spoke so there is no question that you knew. I love you, Uncle Pat and will continue to cherish all the great memories I have of you.

all my love,
