To the Lanahan family
Please accept my deepest condolences on the loss of Patrick. I was blessed to be his College classmate at Ohio Dominican University.
Patrick was in incredibly insightful, compassionate, and empathetic man. He cared deeply about other people and was a selfless advocate for those with whom he represented. He loved his family dearly and was incredibly loyal to those whom he loved. The world was made better by his care and he will be missed. May his family and friends find strength through the warmth of their memories and with the understanding that he is at peace in paradise.
Peace and God's Blessings,
Dan Garrick
