To Terry, Patrick, Laurie, and Pat's grandchildren: I had the priviledge of sharing a few years in the work place with Pat at 8 Harrison Ave., Boston, working for the Telephone Company. Although our paths haven't crossed in several years, I'll always remember Pat as a genuinely sincere man who loved his family deeply, and who would walk to the end of the earth to help a person in need. We had some wonderful times and good laughs. I'll never forget him telling of his family being his first love; followed by his love for the great outdoors, woodworking and photography. He was a real one of a kind type of guy - a class act. My sympathies are with you now and always. I'm sure that God has rewarded Pat abundantly in Heaven for the kindness he showed his brothers and sisters in his journey through life.

The Brennan Family-
I hope that you can take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you. I know that he will be greatly missed, but always know how much he cared for all of you, and you could especially see the enjoyment he had for his grandkids everytime he talked about them.

Terry, Pat and the entire Brennan Family,
Please accept our heartfelt sympathy after your terrible loss. Pat was a gentle and generous man who always made me feel welcomed. His smile and laugh were contagious. I will miss him, but maybe more importantly, always remember him.

Say, Grampy, I sure hope they have web access in heaven so that you can read these messages! Over these last few weeks, I’ve been marveling at your persona and talents. Just like my father, you showed me what courage it takes to accept our mortality when illness shortens our lives.

And for a man not known to say much, it struck me how often you said ‘I love you’ or ‘God bless’ when you said goodbye to loved ones and friends not just in these last few days but every time I can recall leaving your presence. You sure didn’t say much but knew how to say what mattered.

You and Terri shared the most amazing love and relationship. Your partnership was a special gift and accomplishment for you both. I’ve yet to see another relationship that compares and that continued to grow over time. What wonderful models you have been for us all.

Each time I see that peony in my front yard bloom or watch the evergreen continue to grow in my backyard, I will think of you. There are so many other examples of how you have touched my life and taught me lessons that will stay with me throughout my life.

Thanks for the many lessons and remembrances you have left behind. May we all be comforted by them, most especially, Terri, Patrick, Laurie, Erick, Patrick Earl III and Jessica Donna Marie over these next few months. We will miss you terribly. Love to you all…for always…Auntie Mary

To the Brennan Family,
I was deeply saddened to hear of the loss of Pat. He was a wonderful person who made people around him proud to know him.
He is in my heart and prayers as are you, his family. He was a maticulous person who I will never forget. His heart was a big as the Rockey Mountains and the friendship we shared will last forever. Now, he is looking down on us letting us know that it is what you give of yourself that really counts.
God bless and keep you in this time of Grief.

Terry, Patrick, Laurie and the Brennan Family,
We are so sorry about the loss of your husband, friend, father, grandfather. We lost ours, as you know, this Friday, and that common thread will keep us close forever. We lose the ones we love, only because God has a bigger plan for them. We should take comfort in that peace. You are all in our prayers and thoughts.
Love, Janis, Christina and John

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Lori Barrasso- Pat Brennan was like family to me. I have known him all my life. He was a man who could do anything and do it well. He was an excellent photogragher and skilled in woodworking. He procured the best honey I ever tasted. He was a kind and gentle man. He was a loyal friend to my family, and he will be missed by many. I will always remember the map of Texas he had on the sidewalk out front of his house.
