In Loving Memory

To my son Patrick who I miss terribly. I hope you are now at peace with the Angels and your dad. Together you will be happy. Yet I still can't believe you are gone. On your birthday July 13th I let a balloon go into the wind with your dog "Gizmo" nearby. We watched it sail away. I was hoping so much that you would accept the fact that you needed help to conquer you addiction. That you would go back to the NA meetings and see the counselor and get the help you needed. I know you were struggling with many problems as you tired to tell me in the Christmas card you gave me. I know your dad's death in Jan. '09 was hard to deal with. I would have done whatever I had to do to help you work through you problems and I know I was wrong in many ways in my attempt to help you, but I couldn't do any more. You had to be the one to seek the help.
I know you loved me as I loved you and I hoped our time together would be good.
I forgive you for all the tings you did and took from me to support your addiction. Much of the things I was able to get back except the one thing I can't have back is YOU !. No amount of money can bring you back to me.
I know I didn't cause it,I couldn't control it, and I couldn't cure it. Only you could do that. I know you are now in a place with peace. You are not an addict anymore and all your troubles, demons, and desperation are over. You are now FREE !! I will always remember you Patrick and how happy I was 28 year ago when you came into my life

Happy Birthday Patrick!!! you're 38 yrs old today !! I miss you !!! Love & hugs!!! Love Mom |
My son Patrick... I miss you.. you've been on my mind lately.. all my love to you ... Love & hugs ... |
I miss you my friend. Being so close for so long, I cannot believe I missed this. I wish you would have shared with me. We could have shared together. I think of you so often and I hope your pain is gone. I will see you someday, when my days on earth have ended. You were always my best friend, I am sorry I was not there for you at the end. I love you like the brother I never had. |
There is something in your spirit that continues to connect me to you. Our friendship was pure. Our faults never mattered to each other.You were my friend and I will love you in my heart forever. I am sad when I think of the last time I saw you. I was so wrapped up in my own mess that I couldn't see that you needed me. I'm sorry! When I grow old and my time has come , I hope to meet you again and drive around in your fake cop car smoking cigarettes. I will never forget your impact on my life. Dammit Pat! |
To my son Patrick... Today it is 7 years that you are not here with me. I miss you so much. I hope you now have peace.
Love, Mom |
I've been thinking about you lately so I decided to look you up since I was making a trip to Spring Hill. I am so sad to hear of you and your fathers passing. I can't believe I didn't know. Your dad was my school bus driver when we were just kids. He always told me that I needed to meet you. I finally did and we became friends. I will never forget Your beautiful eyes and contagious smile. I pray that you have found peace. |
You were my friend. I am sorry I judged you. Had I known your struggles I would have done more to help. I think of you often and the great fun we had. Enjoy your Cop Car in heaven my friend. You are loved. |
I just came across this page today. I think about you often, and miss the calming tone of your voice. You will always be one of my favorite people to talk to. I hope that you have finally found peace. |

There are friends in life that you always keep close, even if you don't speak regularly. I found out today of your passing for the first time and I am truly devastated. I last saw you in 2007 and have tried to find you since. I always figured one day you would pop up as always. Now I know why. Pat, you hold a very special place in my heart. You were a very good friend to me and I cared so deeply for you. I am broken hearted but I hope that you know how special you will always be. My heart goes out to your family and now that I am a mother myself, I feel the deepest pain for your mother and admiration for her.

I dont know you personally, however I spoke with your mother tonight and a picture i took brought tears to my eyes i immediatly went to a women who happen to be your mother and began to show her this picture it was something she had sent to you in the sky and your somehow made it a heart the look on your mothers face was so peaceful i know this cause myself like your mother i lost a child, i would just like to say that you doing that was a beautiful gift from heaven may you rest in peace

My dear son,
I wish you a Happy Birthday. Today would have been your 30th birthday.I know you are at peace. Miss you so much.

There was a place in childhood that I remember well.
And there a voice of sweetest tone bright fairy-tales did tell,
And gentle words and fond embrace were giv'n with joy to me,
When I was in that happy place- up'on my mother's knee.

This is a poem that was written for all of us remembering our loved ones this May. Though it was originally written in a poem format I was unable to have it appear this way on the NOPE site. The Title of the Poem is “REMEMBERING YOUâ€
Another year has passed us and a new year has begun. As we ponder upon our past reflections, refreshing those memories of who you are, we turn to gaze at pictures, remembering you from our hearts. Our loss has caused us grieving, because we love you so… but each year past and coming I want to let you know,
We will always Love you dearly and missing you so very much. So when the tears fall from our faces, they are kisses sent your way. And when our chests tighten in grieving, they are hugs surrounding you this day. Another year has past us, and a new year has begun. We will forever hold you closely, deep within our hearts, and surrounded in our Love.

Dearest Patrick- I can't believe it has been a year since you passed away. I miss you still and always will. It has been easier than a year ago, but no less painful at times. Love, Mom |
A candle lit in your honor on the anniversary of your passing. Rest in peace Patrick, and may God bless your family and friends.
