It still amazes me when I visit this site of the reflections that are still being left for you. You had such an impact on so many people's lives and I hope you knew that. What's that saying.... it not the years spent on this earth that counts, but what you do with those years that matters. August has never been an easy month for us even as kids and it never will.

I didn’t want to leave the normal reflection this year. Somehow the same words just won’t cut it this time. We come from a family that has law enforcement in it, and then I married into a family of LEO’s. You always teased me that I had the brains of a blonde...ha-ha…thanks a lot by the way. For those who don’t know our families…were Irish so what can I say about the jokes?
So, how do I honor you my brother? What can I do to show people just how special you are to us and so many others still today? We’re in a time where there is so much destruction going on around the globe. I think people forget just how precious life truly is. So, instead of leaving the traditional (so UN Irish of us) reflection. I want to set a challenge to everyone who visits your site. I have successfully set this challenge up with the kids in my area, but I wonder if adults remember how to do this. I would like to set “the pay it forward” challenge in honor of you and to every LEO who is on this site and those who are still serving. Maybe, just maybe it can make a difference. So my brother this I hope and pray will be a successful gift in your memory and your son's. You have proven to us that it’s not that hard to change our corner of world. It takes a little effort.
Miss you as always,

Pat,

I recently met your sister Mary at a training for survivors. Come to find out, she lives and works very near to two of my daughters who attend the University there. One week later while I am visiting, we meet for dinner and it's like we have known each other for a while. She is a most caring and very kind person...but you knew that. She spoke very highly of you and I smiling knowing that you are with my brother in Heaven. Until we meet...

Was thinking about you today. I was telling my friends about your visits to California when I was younger and how excited I was to show you my spy kit :o)

Thank you for watching over.
Miss you and love you lots!

Every single day, since you gave your life so others may live, I've missed you Patrick. Your huge smile, your humor, your tenacity. I don't start a shift without rubbing your face on the department coins affixed to my locker door, inspiring me to strive for excellence the way you always did.

I can't wait to see you again in the new heavenly earth, where we'll choir practice and reminesce on the good times we had.

Though you're not physically with us anymore, your spirit lives vividly in me and always shall Pattyboy. You're the best, You're the Sheepdog that engaged valiantly, you're my hero.

Love Always,

MM

Patrick,

More memories.....hard to seem that it has been 8 yrs. IHOP is a constant reminder of your fun spirit. Whenever another officer has fallen, it sparks the break in hearts with your end of watch. RIP and keep watching over your sisters and Jimbo, and the rest of the family.

Thinking of you today as we remember and celebrate your life. I still keep thinking of that Calivin and Hobbs cartoon... about accomplishing things in life.... I can't think of too many things that you didn't accomplish with the exception of being able to grow old with your family. Thanks for the memories!!

As each year passes it is harder to believe you are gone from our lives. If we could change one moment in time, but then we change God's plan for us. You have given us strength in knowing you were doing exactly what you had always wanted to do. Know the woman you saved that day is so grateful to you for placing your self in harms way and saving her life. I know you are my guardian angel as we push through the midnight shift and all the craziness.

If we could have a DVD of our lives we know what would be there. You were the best big brother to the NJ crew!

Loved always, and always remembered in our hearts.
