no one has been on here in a long time, but it doesn´t mean we don´t think about you!

there is so much i wish you could´ve been here to see. my mom, your sister, became a DR! David, your brother, had a son and named him Patrick. He´s almost 7 and as wild and lovable as can be, you would have loved him he´s the funniest kid ever.

everyone else in the family has had more kids, graduated college, grown older, and celebrated together.

alana and i are doing great. she´s going to college and im getting married soon! his name is paul and he´s amazing - baby patrick (David´s son) really likes him too.


Everyone is still missing you and thinking about you everyday. You are the missing piece of the family and things won´t be the same. As we grow older, we have made sure to never forget you. I hope you have gotten to meet all of your favorite people, like Michael Jackson and most importantly, Jesus!!

I know the Lord has you wrapped in his arms, and the way the world is right now - being with him is much better.

I would say goodbye but I know we will see eachother in an eternal lives, until then, peace.

When I am dead, my dearest

When I am dead, my dearest,
Sing no sad songs for me;
Plant thou no roses at my head,
Nor shady cypress tree:
Be the green grass above me
With showers and dewdrops wet;
And if thou wilt, remember,
And if thou wilt, forget.

I shall not see the shadows,
I shall not feel the rain;
I shall not hear the nightingale
Sing on, as if in pain:
And dreaming through the twilight
That doth not rise nor set,
Haply I may remember,
And haply may forget.

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Daniel Finney

Aubrey Zender

February 25, 2010

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Man Pat. Of all the people I ran across in life, you was one of the realest and closest. From us bein at Hyre together and runnin through the hallways, and from us gettin into it at times, you was always the brother I'd never expect. Man it was crazy to hear that you was gone. Not too many things make me cry, but thinkin of you put this feelin in my chest, and this pain I can never let go. I'm gone miss you big bro. We gone see each other. and that brotherly love we had gone be there. Miss you and love you man.

It was hard for me to hear about what happened to Patrick because I had seen him a just a hour or two before it had happened. I had seen him down town at the metro transit center we talked shortly and he seemed in a decent mood wasnt angry or irritated just being Pat. It was sad to hear about something so horrible happening to someone that I knew since he was a very small child. I send my condolences to the Finney Family and friends of the family. He's in a better place now and we all will see him again when we get there.

Jessica Benson (Gaiter)

My thoughts and prayers are with the Finney family during this very difficult time. I was a neighbor of Patrick's aunt Sherry and I had the pleasure of meeting Pat & his family through his aunt. I can remember Pat & Day Day running around in pampers :) May God keep the Finney family close during this time and in days to come.

to the family of my best in school firend pat finney....... none of you probably know me but patrick and i were very good friends, no one in this world that i will ever run into will compare to him. he was dedicated to what he believed in, he was sweet, funny, and a very talented rapper. i met gods newest angel a little over 3 years ago, and every since then patrick has filled my school days with joy! i will never ever forget him, i will continue to further my education but now i know in my heart and in my head that im no longer only doing this for me and my first and only child, but for the best gift that god has ever sent to this place, my great friend project"patrick" finney, because we always said that whrn we graduated we would stand side by side on stage, patrick when i throw that hat up in the sky, i will make sure that it reaches far up to the heavens, so that you can do the same!! forever in my heart, but always in my mind, you will forever live patrick.
