I am very sorry for your loss. Patrick was a wonderful man and my daughter looked at him as a grandfather. He will be greatly missed by us all but I know he will be right beside her on her graduation day this year because I know how proud he was of her.

May your fond memories of Pat continue to warm your hearts in the days ahead. And may God give you all the strength needed to get through this time of sorrow.
