My condolences to the Curran family. So sorry to hear such an unexpected loss of Patrick.
Please accept the words we use to lighten the pain of loss, knowing that the burden of grief is always personal and individual. There are no words. Perhaps we should rely on good memories and time, to eclipse the sadness.

As a friend of Pat, Bill Wilson and Jim I will miss Pat's cheerful and giving manner. He was an excellent listener and always had time to support his fellow. He spoke for me a few times and his message of hope and cheer were always an inspiration to me and others.
I am sorry I can't be there in person as I will be in Florida but I shall be there in spirit. God Bless.
