Erin, Beth, Mr.& Mrs. McCrea,
You have been in my thoughts all day. As I celebrate Maggie's first birthday, I also celebrate Patrick's life. He will forever remain in my thoughts and prayers. I know each day is a difficult one and time passes but the pain remains. You have survived the first year...which is a difficult one. Stay strong and always know that I am here for you.
Love,
Monica

It's hard to believe Patrick has been gone for a year. In some ways it seems like much longer and in some ways much shorter. What is always constant is the whole that is left in our family. Rest in peace Patrick, we all love you.

Its hard not having Patrick here
as we get ready to celebrate Christmas, and head into the new year! Valarie and I talk about Patrick all the time, we will never forget him as long as we live, and he will remain in our hearts forever! Valarie always asks how is her daddy, and she tells me he's in her heart and how much she loves and misses him, we both do!! I just pray that he is at peace, and watching over the ones he loves and cares about..... Merry Christmas Patrick! all of my love

Pat was soo much fun to be around, he always knew how to make you laugh! What a tragedy for such a fun,loving,gifted young man to have to leave us so soon; however, he will be forever remembered... where his memory lives on within his precious daughter!! We will continue to pray for him & his family!

WE knew Patrick for 20 years. He was the most polite young man we have ever known. We really saw a loving side of him when his daughter was born. What a beautiful little girl she is. Looking at her little face is like looking at Patrick. The last holiday we saw Patrick was Thanksgiving, and he looked wonderful. So I'm glad I will always remember how happy he was. We're so happy that he had his child with Mandy, She's a wonderful mom. They made a great couple. We are so sorry he had to leave us so soon. He will surely be missed by everyone who knew him.

Pat was a great neighbor to us. He would always stop and have a conversation with us whenever he saw us around and really made an impression on our daughter. He would always give us updates and tell us about his daughter with the brightest smile. He will be missed. Our deepest sympathies go out to the entire family, we will keep all of you in our prayers.
