Roseann:
Our thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of sorrow - just know that Pat is in a good place and very peaceful now. Remembering all the good times will help get you through this. On those really bad days you may have just think of the trip to Hawaii and think of Pat as being in that kind of Paradise now.

Roseann,

Fred and I are deeply saddened by Pat's death. We so enjoyed his presence at Fr. Jim's retirement party. We cannot come now, we have children and grandchildren in for the weekend.
Sometime beyond these days your heart will find peace, and the terrible grief will lessen. May the memories that right now are so painful become the strength that keeps you living and loving.
Annie & Fred

I'm Saddened to hear of Pat's passing. He was a great friend during the time we spent together at CCHS. He was always fun to be with and especially when we worked together on the school musical during our senior year. It was great to see him and spend some time with him at our 50th reunion. I will always remember his lyrical tenor voice.

ROSE ANN AND FAMILY

DON'T THINK OF HIM AS GOME AWAY--
HIS JOURNEY'S JUST BEGUN, LIFE HOLDS SO MANY FACETS--
THIS EARTH IS ONLY ONE.
JUST THINK OF HIM AS RESTING FROM THE SORROWS AND THE TEARS IN A PLACE OF WARMTH AND COMFORT WHERE THERE ARE NO DAYS AND YEARS.
THINK HOW HE MUST BE WISHING THAT WE COULD KNOW TODAY HOW NOTHING BUT OUR SADNESS CAN REALLY PASS AWAY.
AND THINK OF HIM AS LIVING IN THE HEARTS OF THOSE HE TOUCHED...
FOR NOTHING LOVED IS EVER LOST--
AND HE WAS LOVED SO MUCH.

IN SINCERE SYMPATHY IN YOUR SORROWS
