I miss you my friend and don't you worry, we will all help take care of Angela & keep all your family in our prayers. Till we meet again at the that big Pearly Gate and find a heavenly pub, you will be in my thoughts. Safe me a pint & a wee dram of our favorite Jameson's.

We are ever thankful to have had the privilege of having Patrick in our lives. His warm smile, quick wit and gentle demeanor will always be a part of the memories we have of him. He will always have that place at our Highland Games ... then one where he passes out smiles, hugs, waves, and usually something cold and tasty to everyone he met. Angela, we are sending you all the love , hugs, and prayers to help you through this moment in time. Lean on those who love you.
We love you sweet Angela. Thank you for sharing your dear Patrick with us--we will always smile when he crosses our minds--always have.
