Mike and Pat: Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow,
May looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow.My deepest sympathies.

Death is only a horizon,
and a horizon is only the limit of your sight.
Open your eyes to see more clearly...Birth is not the beginning,
Death is not the end. RIP.

There is love and strength in family
“Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.”
It's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.
There is only one happiness in life -- to love and to be loved.
“Heaven is a place nearby"
Where there is love there is life.
No three words have greater power than I Love You.
To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die
Let the memories survive
“Those we love don't go away, they live in our hearts every day."
The soul is eternal - love is immortal.
Like a rainbow, gone too soon, but never forgotten.
Eric and Robert will always be in our hearts and we will love them forever. My prayers are with you all!

Dearest Patricia and Michael,
The value of prayer is not that He will hear us, but that we will hear Him. My family's thoughts and prayers are with you.
