Pat, Mary and family,I was shocked and very saddened to see this notice. I instantly recalled a number of Mary's humorous conversations about Patrick. I guess we need to be thankful for the time we have with those we love. Take care.

I shot many times with Brian at our monthly SASS get togethers. He was a pleasure to know and has been missed this year. May he rest in peace with the smile he always showed to me on his face.

God bless you. My prayers are with you all.

I'll never forget Patrick's rosy cheeks and smile. His love and enthusiasm for playing his tuba in band, outdoor outing events in boy scouts, and the times he used to take me home from school in his blue cadillac. Boy, what wonderful memories we had!! I pray that Christ will comfort and strengthen you always.

Dear Mary Ann, Patrick and Michael,
We will always remember Pat and how he helped and loved Dan. He was a good friend to him. We were just talking about him the other day. Dan remembers Patrick taking him to the Auto Show in East Granby, letting him wash his precious Cadillac, giving him an extra big Snickers bar for trick or treat and for taking him to see Inspector Gadget while the other campers went to a scary show. Pat had a gentle, wonderful way with our son and we loved him for that. He helped us when no one else understood Dan's needs. We are so grateful we were able to see Pat recently. Our hearts break for you and we pray that you will find comfort in knowing that Pat is surely resting with God and hearing Him say..."well done good and faithful servant."
God Bless you all,
Martha and Jerry Weis and Daniel and Leighton Conley
