Dear Horan Family,
Patrick will be remembered by so many. I was friends with Patrick in high school and we had lost touch over the years. I was not surprised to see the hundreds of people who turned out to celebrate Patrick's life. He was an amazing individual and will never be forgotten.
I am so sorry for your loss.
My thoughts are with you,

I went to school with Pat at River Hill. Although we were never friends, we were classmates, and that I think is just as meaningful. I am so saddened to hear of his passing. My thoughts and prayers go out to you all during this time of mourning. He is in a better place now, smiling down on you all. It's the memories of Pat that will continue to put smiles on your faces every time you feel saddened. I am sorry for your loss.

Tom, Libby and Family
My deepest sympathies to you at this time. No words can fill the void which you are suffering. You have experienced every parent's fear and nightmare. Whilst I had not met Patrick I am sure that you had both bestowed upon him the great values and teachings to which you subscribed. He was a fortunate son, and obviously loved by not only his family but many others.His passing is our loss. He will not pass this way again but he will never vanish from our thoughts and memory. As parents we must all cherish the time we have with our children and not assume that it will be there forever. Bridie, Ali, Verity and I convey our deepest thoughts to you.Our love and thoughts are with you.

Dear Tom, Libby, and Family:
There is just something wrong when a parent has to bury a child. However, I like to think that when Heavenly Father calls someone home, it means He is calling that person to bigger and better things in heaven. I hope you can find some measure of peace and hope in that thought. And remember that so many people love you two and your family. So, when times look bleak, we are here for you! Please don't forget that! WE LOVE YOU!
