To Patric's Family,

We visit "Patric's Place" every now and then and stop to pay our respects. Our 4-year-old child likes to look at his picture and understands that Patric is "with the angels in heaven." We recently felt compelled to do some research, because we did not know what happened to him and did not live in the area at the time. When we visit the park, we feel like we are close to him. The park is a wonderful tribute and please know that he is in our prayers, even though we never knew him.

Donna O'Neill

August 29, 2007

To Patric's Mom, Dad and Family, Although I didn't know Patric personally, as a middle-aged divorced Mom with a young son who's an only child, who's so much like Patric in personality as was described in the Newspapers, being non-adventurous and knowing God, I felt like I knew him. Patric is still on my heart, 4 yrs. later, and you're in my prayers for the strength and comfort from the Lord and your wonderful and cherished memories of Patric. He's a Beautiful Boy and I will always remember Patric McCarthy.

I am so deeply sorry for your loss and will always remember your precious Patric.

Love in Christ,
Donna O'Neill and Timmy

I know that Patric is with his Heavenly Family. I know that we all miss him, and it is hard to go the day without saying, Patric would have liked this, or that. My heart goes out to his brothers and sisters, who miss him so. They miss their playmate, their friend, their brother. I hope that as time goes by, that they will concentrate on who he was to them, and not how he was lost or that desperate last week of looking.

When people say, how are things going, just say, one day at a time. We love you and hope that your grief will lesson as time passes. Love, Grandma.

Beth Blodgett

November 5, 2003

To everyone who has lost Patric, my heart goes out to you. My heart broke when I heard the news, I work at Loon with Doreen "the horse lady" , I still cry when I think of such a beautiful boy having such a short stay with you all. There are no words that can be said to ease your pain. I lost my father to cancer 4 years ago, So when I go to sleep at night and say my prayers I ask my father to keep him company and tell him the jokes he used to tell me and my sister. I wish the day that all of us barn girls were in the woods we could of found him. But Patric found something even better, heaven, So now he is the guardian angel of all the young souls, girls and boys. He will never drift far from my thoughts or prays and neither shall all in his family. And the small town of Lincoln and the surrounding areas shall always remember a brave little soul that united so many strangers together. Love Beth and Tucker.

Your family may remember me as "The horse lady". I would like to share a poem my 5 yr.old son wrote to Patric.



His name is Patric

And even though he died

I still love him

And I will always keep him in

this poem

And maybe sometime I will get

together with your parents

How is your family doing?

My name is Michael Miller

And I will always think of you

from this poem

Michael 2003



Patric has forever changed my life.

My thoughts and heart go out to your families.

These are the lyrics to 1 of my favorite Bluegrass songs performed by The Gibson Brothers the title to the song is When god comes and gathers his jewls.



The ceremony was over

a lad stood alone in a pew

for he had just said goodbye

to the one he had loved through

the years.He stood alone with his

head bowed down as though his

heart would break a parson came

over and took his hand and too

him these words he did say.

When God comes and gathers his

jewls all his treasures of diamonds

and gold we'll meet him up there in

heaven so fair when God comes and gathers his jewls.

That night with the pale moon a shining you could see the lad all alone with his eyes lifted up towards

heaven he's repeating these words he was told.

When God comes and gathers his

jewls all his treasures of diamonds

and gold we'll meet him up there in heaven so fair when God comes and

gathers his jewls.When god comes

and gathers his jewls.



I sincerely hope that these words

will bring some degree of comfort to

the family and friends of Patric

Cheryl (the MTN LDY) Trottier

How quickly organized it became

Strangers becoming friends waiting in the rain

No one wanting to lose their place in line

The busses shuttling groups out from time to time

"I have a daughter, a son, a nephew, or a niece.

Until we find him I will have no peace."

Day turned to night but no one felt blue

We refuse to give up and there's always the night crew.

Night turned to day and coffee was served

"This is a nightmare no child or parent deserves"

Keeping the faith and hope alive

Searchers and volunteers increased the drive

Rumors and speculation, as always abound

No one could rest until Patric is found.

Friday dawned, morning anew

"Today is his day" so little we knew.

Someone found him; they've got him; such joy and relief

The truth was told and beyond belief.

How could this be after all we've done?

Wasn't 600 enough, perhaps six hundred and one?

Feelings of failure and grief and despair

We tried so hard; this simply isn't fair.

How quickly we mourned and cleaned and dispersed

To return to lives at separate corners on earth

No life is the same; all have changed forever

Thanks to the days we banded together

Strangers we were, caught up in our lives

Heeding the calls and calming the cries

A life we never knew or ever did share

Ended so lonely, but angels were there

The angels that cradled Patric up in those woods

Were the same who called us when no one understood

Understood the need we felt in our hearts

To be there, to help, to simply take part

"They have professionals like New Hampshire Fish and Game

Who are trained to do this"... but it's not the same.

I need to be there, I just can't explain.

Now here we stand

Some of us hand in hand

Saying goodbye to a boy so small

Who's soul has bound us once and for all

Life will go on with all its endless traffic

Yet you and I are changed and we'll always remember Patric.

Rie

October 27, 2003

Patric will remain with us here as long as we keep him safe in our hearts and in our minds. Please rest assured that he is at home with Jesus. Peace. Rie

October 25, 2003

Safely Home

I am home in Heaven, dear ones;

Oh, so happy and so bright!

There is perfect joy and beauty

In this everlastin light.

All the pain and grief is over,

Every restless tossing passed;

I am now at peace forever.

Safely home in Heaven at last.

Did you wonder I so clamly

Trod the valley of the shade?

Oh!but Jesus'love illumined

Every dark and fearful glade.

And He came Himself to meet me

In that way so hard to tread;

Then you must not grieve so sorely,

For I love you dearly still;

Try to look beyond earth's shadows,

Pray to trust our Father's Will,

There is work still waiting for you,

So you must not idly stand;

Do it now, while life remaineth-

You shall rest in Jesus' land,

When that work is all completed;

He will gently call you Home;

Oh, the rapture of that meeting,

Oh, the joy to see you come!

Dear Family of Patric

Each time he walked into a room with his bright smile it was a blessing. Please remember each smile he gave you and hold in your heart. He was full of love and innocence may this continue in your hearts. Take peace in knowing this child knew how loved he was from ALL of his family. I am sorry for your pain and saddness. I will hold you in my prayers.

Our familys do not know each other, however, we have alot in common. I lost my grandson, my daughter's son, only 6 weeks ago. No words can express the pain that comes with such a loss. Your Patric was a beautiful boy. For some reason, he was chosen to be one of gods angels. My heart breaks for you, as you begin your journey of healing. Though I knew him only through the news, tears flow freely, just thinking of him and his family. god bless you.

Mary,Shelby, and Amber Onstott

We are so very saddened by the news of little patric....

Though we prayed daily with everyone else for his safe return, I know where he is now. In a better place than here.

My family and I will keep Patrics Mom and Dad in our nightly prayers. No one can understand what your grief must be like.

God Bless you all

Anita Deveau

October 23, 2003

I can't even begin to express how very heartbroken my entire family is for your loss. I have an 8 year old little boy of my own, who bares a STRICKING resemblance to Patric, and at the first word of his disappearance, I was praying he would be found safe and secure. Alas, God had different plans. Please accept our deepest condolences for your tragic loss. I will pray for you always.

Richard Collins

October 23, 2003

May God's blessings be with the family. As a new adoptive single dad of a ten year old I feel a very deep sense of loss. Even though I did not know Patric I feel like I did. I wanted to join the volunteers but I had pneumonia that week. I will keep you all in my prayers and may God's peace be with you.

Warmest thoughts,

Patric, although I never met you I will never forget you. I was one of many who searched for you. Never again will I look at the woods as I always have. I love to hike but will do so with a bit of sadness. As I searched for you I saw my grandchildren's faces and asked them to pray for you. As a mother my heart aches for your mom and dad. Your grandfather Jim was there every day as we boarded the buses and we all tried to comfort him.

May you make your journey over the rainbow on the wings of a snow white dove.

Dee & Steve,

1st I would like to thank you Steve for giving me my first job @ Dunkin Donuts. And putting up with me. As a father figure would do.



Patric was a very lucky young man for having you for his father.



And Dee, thank you for being there as a big sister and telling me right from wrong. And for all the happy times you brought to me when I was down.

Patric couldn't have asked for a better MOM. Any one can be a MOTHER but it takes a lot more to be a MOM.



You both are always in my heart and forever will remain there. You both have influenced me though out my life weather you know it or not.



Thank you & I love you both!!

I think about Patric every day and will always remember him and your family in my prayers.

October 23, 2003

Death is nothing at all. It does not count. I have only slipped away into the next room. Nothing has happened. I am I, you are you, and the old life we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged. Whatever we were to each other, that we are still. Call me by the old familiar name. Speak of me in the easy way which you always used. Put no difference into your tone. Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name ever be the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without an effort, without the ghost of a shadow upon it. Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was. There is no absolute and unbroken continuity. What is this death but a negligible accident? I am but waiting for you, for an inrterval, somewhere very near, just round the corner. All is well.

Patric, my thoughts and prayers have been with you and your family. We all wanted to hear that you were found and that you were safe and warm. As I have wept for you, I have tried to find comfort in the belief that you are now safe and warm in the arms of God. I think of your family, your friends and classmates and all of the volunteers that searched for you and pray that they, too, are somehow able to find some comfort. You touched so many hearts.

"God bless mommy and matchbox cars, God bless dad, and thanks for the stars, God hears 'amen' where ever we are, and we love you."

God made another Angel today

One to watch and guide us all



He took the best to Heaven

Even though you were so small



Although we all will miss you

We'll think of you each day



Patric you're forever in our hearts

For always you will stay.



Although I did not know your son, My friends The Whites did and through their saddness I feel I knew him too. May your sorrow be lessened each day, and your memories never forgotten.

Patric(without a K)



I didn't know you Patric

And you didn't me

How I wish that I did

Kow someone so special



When I first seen that

Innocent,sweet face on TV

How I prayed and hoped

For you to safely come home



You remind me so much of

My 10 year old step-brother

So young and so little and

Yet so strong and determined



How you loved being with family

And friends at home and school

How you made people laugh and smile

From such a small and strong heart



You tried so hard to stay here

With the people you loved

We all tried to help you

For more loved you then you knew



The Lord seen you laying there

Though,so cold,alone and scared

He sent the angels to watch over you

It is almost time to come home



Your mothe heard your voice

As you lay there calling for her

And she is so proud of you for

All that you have tried and done



The Lord is waiting for you now

It is alright sweet little angel

Close your eyes and rest

It is time to come home

Where there is no more pain or fear



In your family's and friend's hearts

And in mine,and all those that helped

You were loved very much

And always will be

For now and forever.
