Well, another year has gone by.... I guess you could now consider me an old man. 68 this month. I only wish you were here to grow old with me. The world kinda sucks, and you would have had plenty to say. I´m so sorry about Patrick, the whole family is still reeling from that. I´m gonna have a cold one in your memory. Cheers! Love you bro....

Hiya Bro...

Wow, it's been 11 years! While time has gone a long way in lessening the pain of your passing, I still get very sad when thinking of you.

I still try to drink a beer every once in a while in your honor.

Miss you bro!

Meredith & Patrick,

I can not believe it's been one year ago today that we received that fatal phone call. We still think of Pat everyday and how much we miss him! He was a great husband and father, son and brother.

Yes, things have changed so much since his passing and hopefully they are for the better.

He is also in a better place with God. Please know that God is with him and always will be.

He will always be in our thoughts and prayers and in our hearts forever.

And so will You and Patrick.

We love you much as does all the family,

Mary and John

Dearest Pat,

It's been a year since you passed. I can't believe it's been that long. It just doesn't seem real. We are still hurting so much. The crying hasn't stopped this weekend. Our lives changed forever on this dreadful day one year ago. It seems like everything has gone downhill since then. But know that you will be forever in our hearts. We think of you each and every day Pat, and that will never change.

We miss you more than you'll ever know.

Love,

Lisa

Wow Bro....

It's been a year, and only feels like a month has gone by. I still think of you everyday.

I wanted to be in Phoenix this weekend, but I found out at the last minute that I had to work Saturday. I hope you understand.

I spent the day today at Bonelli Park in San Dimas with some very close friends who knew the significance of today, and didn't want me to spend the day alone. I thank God everyday for their friendship and support.

I suppose we are all moving on with our lives in one way or the other. That being said, your passing isn't made all that easier, we all grieve in some way, and you will never, ever, be far from my thoughts. Your picture hangs on my wall as a silent tribute to you, the best little brother a man could could ever have.

I love you man, keep that beer cold for me.

Big Bro...

Dearest Pat,

One year ago today you and Meredith were having a wonderful time in San Francisco. If we had only known that day was going to be your last day with us or the last time we would talk to you, we would have told you how much we love you and hug you forever -- never let you go, but we never had the chance to say good bye. You were such a supportive person and helped me whenever you could. You were someone I could always count on for anything. I will be forever grateful for everything you did for me.

Things have changed so much -- our lives have changed so much since you've been gone. We miss you so much, but we know you are at peace and are watching over us. You will be forever in our hearts.

Love you and miss you terribly.

Love,

Lisa

Yes, time certainly is going by fast. As we all know, time is precious and need to cherish each and every moment we have with one another. It seems like you guys did that; we all do even though were quite a distance from some.

I love and think about you all everyday -- honest. :)

Take care of one another and lets try to keep in touch with one another any way we can.

Love,

Tony

Dearest Pat,

I was thinking about you and Meredith yesterday (and everyday) as it was your wedding anniversary. I know how special that day was for the both of you. It's especially difficult on Meredith with your anniversay being yesterday and it being 11 months today since you left us. We continue to miss you each and every day and wish you hadn't left us so soon. Like Meredith said, it's not fair! We will never know why God took you from us so soon. It feels like it's been forever without your presence in our daily lives, but yet the pain we continue to feel makes it feel like it all happened yesterday.

We will always love you and miss you!

Love,

Lisa

Well, baby, Happy Anniversary! Woulda been 15 years today, wow! You were my first true love, Pat; our time together was just cut too short, not fair. I miss what we had together; I didn’t think it was much at the time, but man, do I miss it now, unbelievable. It’s so true, as sang by one of my favorite 80’s hair bands Cinderella, “you don’t know what you’ve got ‘til it’s gone.” We did have some really great times, I’m glad I forced you into making those memories LOL. You went along with everything to make me happy, but you enjoyed everything we did as well. We got to experience lots of things together, just us, and with Patrick as a family. We really did have some good times. I cherish those memories. You are in my heart….forever. Happy Anniversary, sweetheart. I love you always, Meredith

Dearest Pat,

Gosh, another month has passed. Time is amazingly flying by so quickly. It's hard to believe it's been 9 months. You were definitely taken from us much too soon.

The Arizona Cardinals made it to the Superbowl. You would have loved watching them. It was a long time coming. I had said previously stated that they hadn't made it to the playoffs in 47 years, but actually it was since 1947, which is 62 years and not 47. However, the Cardinals didn't win. They had an awesome season and I know you would have been right there with us cheering them on.

Not a day goes by where we aren't thinking of you and wishing that you were still here with us.

We love you and miss you terribly!

Love,

Lisa

Dearest Pat,

We think of you each and every day. Another month has gone by since you were taken from us so suddenly. It is still so unreal and unbelieveable that you are no longer here.

Sara and Lannon left for home today. We were so fortunate to have them here with us during Christmas and your birthday. You would be so proud of Sara. She is such a wonderful mother and really seems happy. Your little grandson is such a precious little guy. He's such a happy baby, smiling all the time. We absolutely loved them being here with us.

By the way, the Arizona Cardinals won their first playoff game in 47 years! I know you would have gotten a kick out of that.

Our hearts will be forever broken. We love you and miss you so much.

Love,

Dearest Pat,

Well, it's been 7 months without you being here with us. Time seems to be flying by, but it hasn't helped the sadness we continue to feel in our hearts.

We attended a service of remembrance celebration for you on Sunday. Personally, I thought it was going to be more cheery, but all it did was reopen the wound. It was very hard on everyone. Poor Patrick had such a hard time. He really needs your guidance to help him through this. Please take care of him.

This month is going to be a special one. We get to see Sara and meet Lannon. We are so looking forward to that. It'll be nice to have them here with us to celebrate your birthday and Christmas.

Our hearts will be forever broken. We think of you every day and always will. We miss you so much.

Love,

November 3, 2008

Well, baby, it’s 6 months today!!!!!! I just can’t believe it, it feels like yesterday. But then again it seems like forever since you’ve been gone. I am so very sad today. I really miss you!!!!!!!! I’m really trying hard to get through this; it’s been such a rough road for me, Patrick, everyone. We all miss you so very much. I love you, baby! On the lighter side, Sara and our grandson Lannon will be coming out here for Christmas/New Years! I’m am soooo excited about that; I can’t wait! It’s going to be an extremely emotional time for all of us -- first time we’ve been together since you left, your birthday, the holidays, meeting grandson Lannon for the first time, the list goes on. But you are in our hearts forever, baby, and you will be with us spiritually during this time. I love you forever and can’t wait until we meet again!!

November 3, 2008

Dearest Pat,

I can't believe it's been 6 months since you were taken so suddenly from us. I know I constantly repeat myself, but our feelings are still the same and I don't see them ever changing. The pain and heartache is still there. Like I said before, it still feels like it was only yesterday.

As the holiday season approaches, it is going to be hard for the family because of the sadness of not having you here to enjoy it with us. We are so looking forward to seeing Sara and your baby grandson. That will be the only highlight.

As you know, you are in our thoughts every day. We are missing you terribly.

Please continue to watch over your family.

Love,

Lisa

Dearest Pat,

Five months have now passed since you've been gone. It's unbelievable that no matter how much time has passed, the hurt, pain and emptiness we all feel is still the same as the first moment we got the horrible news. It's still so fresh in our minds and our hearts.

We are leaving this evening for Jr.'s first birthday party tomorrow. We ask that you please watch over us so that we have a safe trip to Cali. We will miss not having you with us to celebrate such a precious moment. Jr. always loved his Uncle Pat holding him.

Poor Patrick broke his hand again a few weeks back. It was the same arm that was broken before. I think this time it was due to a little clumsiness though. He should be getting the cast off next week.

I was very happy to hear that Sara and your grandson will be coming for Christmas. We finally get to see Sara and meet that precious baby. With the two of them being here it will certainly help us get through such a difficult time.

You are in our hearts, thoughts and prayers every single day. We miss you terribly.

Please continue to take care of your family.

Love,

Lisa

Hi, baby, it's me!! I just want you to know that I miss you sooo much. I can't even begin to tell you. I'm having a much harder time now than when you first left me. I guess the shock has worn off and reality is setting in that I will never see you again. It hurts soooo much. I want you back, home with us. I wish I was stronger, but I'm not. I need you to give me strength, help me, baby. We love you and miss you tremendously. Please remember that I will always love you, no matter what happens. You are my world! I will love you forever.

Dear Meredith & Family:

I'm thinking of you all and I know as time goes on, it may get a little easier to cope, but the pain will certainly remain. I keep you all in my prayers and hope that our loving God may touch you personally so that you are comforted knowing what is so close at hand.

I love you all and yes, lets let one another know how much we care by keeping in touch, even though we know we care; it's nice to hear it.

Love,

Dearest Pat,

It's been three months today that you left us so suddenly. Our hearts will be forever broken. We'll never know the reason why God took you from us when we needed you here. I know he has his own reasons, but it doesn't make it any easier on us.

Patrick starts his first day of high school tomorrow. It's such a special day and wish you were here sharing it with him. We are so proud of him.

I saw pictures of Sara and your beautiful grandson. He is so cute. Sara looked so happy and proud. Who wouldn't be when you are blessed with such a precious little baby. We are still hoping to see them soon.

I'm sure you saw the personalized license plate Meredith purchased and put on the Expedition. It was your vehicle and now it's got that special plate -- GO PAT. We will never forget your famous "Go Pat" dance. You were the best at it. No one compared and never will. We still see you doing it.

We are missing you so much. Please continue to watch over your family.

We love you! GO PAT!!

Hi Meredith & all of my Uncle Pat's family: I just want you to know not a day goes by when I don't think of you all. Many of us may live far away or lead busy lives, but we all know we care so much. Let's do our best to tell each other more often than not. My heart goes out to you who have suffered the greater loss - a husband, father, grandfather even. Love you, miss you and continue to keep you in my prayers.

Merideth and Pat what can I say but Pat you will be missed and Merideth if there is anything you need just let me know. I can remember all the fun times we had and can't believe how the time has passed so quickly. I knew once you both started dating it was meant to be. Your life together was not easy but you made every moment count. Love you both and Merideth call anytime. Jodie

Uncle Pat,

I have finally built up enough courage to actually sign this and let you know how i feel, you were just like a father to me and it really hurt to see you go. i miss you so much and do anything to give 1 more day with you, i know we will see each other again but still it would be nice if you would just walk on through the front door of your home as if nothing happened. i promise you that i will do my best to make sure Patrick stays on the right path i love him hes like my little brother and want the best for him. he's doing very well im really proud of him

i miss you and love you so much i dont think a day has passed by where i haven't though about you or maybe even cried a little because i did in a way lose a father, because that is how you were to me a father.

Meredith i love you with as much love as i can possibly give, i dont know what i would do without you. i really appreciate everything you have done for me and i hope that ill be there for you whenever you need help in any way because i care about you and Patrick sooooo much.

i love you guys

dear dad (and loving grandpa),
I miss you so much. I think about you all the time. I wish you could hold your very first grandson. He is already smiling and cooing. I wish you could of met Bryan too. But mom is going to approve for you when she meets him. I love you dad...It still doesnt seem real that you are gone. I still remember the times I would walk off that plane and see you first in line waiting for me with a big smile on your face and your hawaiin shirt. :) But I know I will see you again. And thats what keeps my hopes up. I am so happy I got a chance to spend everyday with you for three years. It really gave me a chance to connect with you more. I love you dad and so does your grandson Lannon. Take care and We'll be thinking of you everyday. See you someday.

Dearest Pat,

It's been two months since you left us and it still feels like yesterday. It just doesn't get easier does it? We want you here with us - we need you here with us. This just wasn't supposed to happen. For some reason, God needed another angel with him and he couldn't have chosen a better person.

I know you are taking care of Meredith and Patrick and that's the most important thing. You also know that they are surrounded by lots of love and support from both family and friends. We are so grateful for that.

We'll miss not having you here with us during another holiday weekend. But, as you know, you are constantly thought about each and every second of each day.

We miss you terribly and love you so much!!

Love,

Bro,

It's almost been two months since you left us, but the pain of losing you is still fresh in my mind.

There is not a day that goes by that something I see or do or hear reminds me of you. I'm sad at first, but then I smile because you left all of us with such great memories.

There are so many things I wish I had told you, so many things I would have liked to do with you, and the opportunity just to spend more time with my little brother.

We never know how good we had it until we lose it.

I love you Pat and I miss you terribly. We'll see each other again, so keep a beer cold for me.

Big Bro....

My dearest, sweet, loving Pat:

Well, baby, 5 weeks ago today we were having a wonderful time in San Francisco. And then it ended so suddenly. I am terribly heartbroken and never knew someone could really actually have these feelings of hurt and grief. I cannot express to you how much I love you, how much I miss you, how much I need you. I will see you again, my love, we will meet again, I believe that. Until then, I’m forever yours, your loving wife, Meredith.

Lisa Fox

May 31, 2008

Well Pat, it's been four weeks since you left us. The pain, sadness and emptiness we are all feeling makes it feel like it was only yesterday. Not a minute or even a second goes by without us thinking of you. We miss you so much. Our lives will never be the same.

You would have been so proud of Patrick at his 8th grade promotion. He is growing into such an awesome young man. We can see you in him, he's just like you in so many ways. It was really hard to celebrate it without you being there, just as it was at his 14th birthday party last weekend. Things just aren't the same without you here with us.

Your grandson arrived sooner than we thought, four days after you left us. Both he and Sara are doing just fine. I can't wait to see the both of them. Hopefully, it'll be sooner rather than later.

We are all trying to be strong for both Meredith and Patrick. Please continue to watch over them.

We love you.

My Dear Meredith & Patrick,
In this sad and sorrow filled time, I want to express that many, many prayers are in your behalf as this is a heart breaking experience that we've all went through. But now there's a wonderful opportunity to share in the joy of Pat's life, remembering all of the good things he's done and wonderful times there were. It's a great sadness that touches all of our hearts. Now he's resting until John 5:28 is fulfilled. There's so much hope for the future and if we allow God to, he'll provide us with that comfort we need to get through this difficult time. Please know that I and my family will be there for the 3 of you more than ever. You all will never be alone and I can guarantee that. We love you guys so, so much and Pat will never be forgotten, ever, as God has promised this. He's a wonderful man that cared for all those he knew in one way or another. I love you all and may our loving God(the God of all comfort)comfort and spiritually bless you all in this time of much sadness.

With love, Tony & Family

Dear Meredith and Patrick,

Our hearts ache for you! Words cannot express how sorry we are that you have to experience losing husband and father so early in life. Pat loved you both so much. We are thankful that we were blessed to have Pat in our lives to call him brother and uncle. He will always have a special place in all of our hearts and memories! Please know that we are here for you! We know that God is in control, no matter how out of control life seems. He will carry you in the palm of His hand, if you will just lean on Him and let Him. We will continue to pray for healing, guidance and peace for you in the days ahead.

We love you and are here for you!

Joe, Stephanie, Chase, Noah and Olivia

Although my heart feels heavy with grief, there is comfort, knowing Pat is in a better place.

When I first met Pat, I was struck by how handsome he was. Of course we were much younger then. He was probably about 30 years old. If memory serves me well, Sara was soon to arrive. He sure loved his daughter. And he was such a proud father.

Pat had this sense of humor that was far beyond most people. And he found humor in a lot of things. To listen to his laugh was infectious. I couldn't hear him laugh and not want to laugh, myself. Even if I didn't know what he was laughing at.

Pat had the ability to bring life to a room, simply by entering it. I'm sure he had his quiet moments, I just never witnessed one. It seemed like where Pat was, that is where the party was.

After Pat met Meredith, I think his life changed for the better. Meredith is from this large and tightly-knit family where they are not only family, but also, they are the best of friends. And Pat seemed to fit in perfectly with his new extended family.

It was so good to see a man that was so madly in love with his wife.

Pat's life was further blessed by the birth of his son, Patrick. Pat wanted only the best for his son. He wanted to protect Patrick and keep him safe.

Pat's brother, Mike (although I always call Mike, Bob) is a wonderful friend of mine. They were each other's only brother. And they knew each other so well. Sometimes, they would get together and enjoy a beverage or two. The two of them sometimes burst into spontaneous laughter for no apparent reason. They had a very real connection and sometimes they were amazed at how they could read each other's thoughts.

Pat is sure going to be missed.

Thankfully, his wife, his daughter, his son, his brother, his sister and the rest of his family are going to be able to help his grandchildren know what a truly special man he was. May God Bless each one of them and ease their grief.

... With love from Pat's friend...

Dear Meredith,
I deep sense of sadness has been in my heart since I heard about Pat. I remember one of my visits he told me he was happiest when he knew you were happy, and I thought how lucky you were. That's true love.

Grace, Patrick, Lisa, Eric and the rest of your family are in my thoughts too. I'm comforted to know you have family and friends surrounding you. Find your strength from wherever it comes. You will get through this one moment at a time.

My heart is with you. Pat will truely be missed. He was a sweet man.

Dearest Pat,

We are so shocked, devastated and brokenhearted that you were taken from us so soon. Words cannot express the pain we are all going through. We will always love you and you will be in our hearts forever. I promise you that we (me and my family) will take care of Meredith and Patrick the way you always have. We are missing you terribly.

My Dear Sister Meredith and Patrick,

We love you both so much and will be here for you every single day. I know these words will never take away the pain or emptiness you are feeling at this horrible time. Just know in your hearts that so many love you and that you are in their prayers to guide you through this. I love you so much.

Lisa, Randy & Eric
