Carol, anyone that knew Patrick knew that you were and are the love of his life. He loved you unconditionally. In his eyes there was no one else that could ever hold a candle to you. You two exemplified what a true good example of marriage can be. I just wanted to reiterate that to you, he told me many times. He always bragged on you. Just hold on to that and may it give you peace. I love you (I hope I spelled all those long words right)

Carol (and Brandon)..All I am going to say is that we love you and you know it. We are right here beside you and we will keep the memories, stories and joy that Patrick brought to us alive together. Step by step we will be beside you. Just know that Paddy boy was mine and Buddha's friend and I would give absolutely nothing for the last year and 1/2 we all had together, remember we had 50 parties! I love you and Brandon, and remember you just call out our name and you know wherever WE are we'll coming running! We are and will miss him deeply. He was definitely one of a kind. My brother from another mother! I just wanted to write this to you on line to keep so you can remember all of our great times, all the laughs, the trips, the boating, the eating all of it. WE four were so fortunate to have had the time with him in the last year and half, because he kept us going! and going and going..and I still hear him writing me a to do list..I don't know what else to say but as Buddha said the world was better with him in it and he definitely made his foot print in all our hearts. Love you so much..

Pat was a very unique individual who will be greatly missed. He loved to have fun, play pranks, make money, and enjoy the great outdoors. I've never met anyone else quite like him, and I probably never will. My prayers are with his family. God bless you all.
