Dear Connolly Family,
Although I have not seen Patrick for several years, I remember him as quietly mischievous, similar to my memories of his father ( but not quite as quiet as Patrick).

My thoughts and prayers are with you and Patrick during this worldly parting.

Dear Connolly family,
Please accept our deepest sympathy on your loss. I have very fond memories of Pat; he always made me laugh and we were always able to find some kind of mischief to get into. Our thoughts are with you. He will be missed.

To Eileen and all of the Connollys,

My heart and thoughts are very much with you during this most difficult time. I remember Patrick mostly from our Sunday picnics at Elk Island Lake and Borden Park, he always had that impish grin, ready for any kind of action and excitement. There's good reason for a welcome party in heaven as he joins those we have had the honour to know and love dearly. I'm with you in spirit and prayer, with love always.

I went to High School with Pat at AO'B, and I recall many weekend get togethers with friends where Pat was almost always there, sporting his shy grin and laid back demeanor. Rest in Peace, Pat.
My sincere sorrow goes out to the entire family.

I went to school with Pat at A'OB. He always had a smile and made a room light up with his humour. I am sorry for your loss.
