I fondly remember Patrick's smile and friendliness at Colonial Christian. My mother, "Mrs. Pete", loved it when he was at church. I am so sorry for your loss, and I pray for comfort, peace and strength for all of you.

My prayers are with you during your bereavement. I remember when
his grandparents, Harold and Irene would bring him to church, he always had the sweetest smile. He attended some of the youth meetings. I can still see that smile. May God comfort you. Peace, Gail Young, Colonial Christian Church, Colonial Heights, VA

What can we can say to take the pain away. I don't know. If words or actions could lift this from you, I would gladly bear, try to share, the burden of this awfully heavy load. So very sorry for the loss of this kind,
sensitive and gentle spirit.
