Dear Lynn and family:



Pat was a great friend to us. We enjoyed your visits so much. Although you weren't able to make one more trip out East, or to our retirement cottage, we know he'll be looking down from above.

Dear Tricia and Family,

I was so sorry to hear about the loss of your beloved father, husband, and friend. It was my prayer that God would grant you more time with him. Yet, the more I thought about it, I realized that God granted the true desire of your hearts; for He removed Patrick Richardson from the pain of cancer that had dominated the last few years of his life. But even with this understanding, the passing of a loved one, especially a family member, is one of the most difficult trials we face in this life. Tricia, I hope I am there for you in whatever you need. If losing my Grandmother that same week had no other purpose but to help me understand your pain better, it was worth it. May God give you the peace that passes all understanding as you walk through this hard time.

In Friendship,

Suzanne (from GTCC)

God has a good man to be with Him in Heaven. It is such a pleasure to see all your thoughts about my husband. His service Friday was beautiful and a perfect send off for a new Catholic who loved his family and friends so deeply. My truck driver had so many facets-family, classical music, deep faith, cars, racing and his precious target shooting. God bless all of you and thank you for the flowers, spiritual boquets, masses, cards and email messages. Patrick is looking down on all of us, smiling, seeing how his life touched so many. Lynn

My deepest condolences on your recent loss. The So Bay Wed. shooters have been wondering why he was missing. Pat was a great addition to the group and will be missed by all. He took a lot of good-natured kidding and gave as good as he got.
