Patrick, oh Patrick. My heart is breaking for my loss , but if you are with your family in heaven you are happy and that gives me peace. You told me that you regretted that you will not know your grandchildren and they wouldn't know you. But you raised very good boys who will tell them about you and emulate being the good father that you were. We have no way of knowing if when we get to heaven we can peek down to see how things are going but if we can I know you'll keep an eye on everyone. Love you always and hope to see you again someday. xoxoxo

Although we haven't seen each other in 10 years, I'll never forget how close we once were.You,me and your oldman had some great times together.Rest in peace my friend.
I was back in Edgewater to visit a couple of weeks ago and stopped by to see Pat. It was so awesome to spend some time with him and see Deanna as well. I have many memories of Pat. We even lived together years ago before I moved out west. I have always loved Patty and his family. Our family grew up as neighbors. I’m so grateful for the time I got with him recently. Love Robert and the Atlas family.
Patrick My Little Brother,
You've gone home to heaven now with Mommy, Daddy and the rest of our siblings.
My memories are what I have left, memories so dear and true. All the times when your heart shined through are the greatest memories I have of you.
In my heart you all will be, till God brings me home to Heaven and we will all be together as it was always intended to be.
I love you
Dina <3
