Joan & Kerry,
I am so sorry to hear of Pat's passing. My prayers and thoughts are with you at this difficult time. I will always remember how Pat could bring a smile to everyone's face and his wonderful voice, especially when he was singing Danny Boy at all the sing-songs we all had together. God Bless Pat, you and your families.
Stevie Landaverde and family
