Dear Mrs Travers, Mike, Tim, Bernadette, Cassie, Margie and of the Travers family, I was shocked and saddened to hear of Pat's death. Though I have not seen Pat for many years he has always held a special place in my heart. His wonderful laugh and welcoming smile was ever near but he was so much more. For it was the day of my own brother, Thomas' funeral that I will never forget Pat for. His tenderness, caring and kindness to me that day went beyond any duty of friendship. It came from a big man with an even bigger heart. I know Our Lady is wrapping Her Blue Mantle around Pat and welcoming him home. I hold you all in my thoughts and prayers at this very difficult time. God grant Pat the Light of Heaven and each of you the peace of Christ.

Our sympathy and prayers are with you Mike and your entire family.

Dear Mike and Family,
I am so very sorry to learn of Pat's passing. I was fortunate to spend time with Pat at a small get together not too long ago, where many a story was told and a laugh was had. He was in such good spirits and I will treasure that memory. May God keep him close and comfort your family through this time of sadness. I am very sorry for your loss. Sending you Hugs and Peace,
