Daddy, I did as I had promised. I held you as you passed, I never left your side, I stayed with you to the end. I heard your last words, calling, "Pat....Pat", I knew you would be leaving me and Nita, that you would be with Mom very soon. I felt you go to God, with my Rosary your in hand, and you in my arms. I did as I had promised...I love you, Daddy.
Forever your Bakala...Barbie

My deepest sympathies to my online friend, Barbie, and the rest of her family and her father's friends. A loss of a loved one is extremely hard and I pray that God strengthens each of you as Mr. Fast smiles down from above. Many Blessings.

Barbie,
I know your dad was a wonderful man and will be missed greatly by his loved ones. I also know that he is with Jesus now and suffers no more, and that you all take great comfort in that fact. Thinking of you and keeping you in my prayers as a dear friend, though unseen.
