Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Dear Patrick Michael

Rodney Atkins song was thinking of you and your dad in this song "Watching You". Thank you for honoring your Father and all fathers of Law Enforcement.

We'll be just alike, hey, won't we dad
When I can do everything you do
'cause I've been watching' you.

Patrick,
I've missed you so this past year - even more than before. I know that's not what you want but I really am trying. Stacey and Austin are great to me but he is her son not my. I miss our conversations - we talked over everything - even things we shouldn't have. I miss your smile - sometimes wondering what was behind it. I thank God that you made such wonderful friends - they are what keeps me going. Somehow I feel your presents when I am with them. I'm still look for my purpose - why I'm still here. I promise not to give up until I find it.
You are always in my heart!!!!

Thinking of your loved ones on this 3rd anniversary. Continue to keep watch over them, especially your Mom, such a wonderful, kind hearted woman. You are a true hero and have not been forgotten.

Trent and Diana got married Saturday and it just wasn't the same without you there though we know you were there in spirit. Your mom did a wonderful job on the readings during the ceremony. And we all shed tears listening to the bagpipes. Nugie lifted you up in his best mans speech and we all shared a good laugh when he told Maize that though she wanted him to say Trent was an angel we all knew different. He does have a lighter side and that is because of you and now Diana. She reminds me of you ... always laughing and finding joy in life. Keep that alive in all of us - will you?

Miss you.

Hi,
I was driving past your place today and had to laugh. I remember how you were so mad that your bike took up HALF your balcony.... You were so funny, you put up a HOOK to place it up higher and it fell about an hour later on MY head.... I miss you! .... Christina

Hey there PB...Just getting your myspace page up and running. Your mom and I talked about it at the golf outing and I am trying to get it done but you see how crazy the little one is. She's a handful and consumes most of my time. Just wanted to get the word out that it is up but still being perfected so people can send us friend requests if they themselves are on myspace. They can contact me for info or Cathy can direct them my way. I think this year we are joining your p's at SR's for turkey day - you will be the guest of honor as always ;) Thanks for your constant presence in all our lives. You are terribly missed.

Sunny days seem to hurt the most
Wear the pain like a heavy coat
I feel you everywhere I go
I see your smile, I see your face
I hear you laughing in the rain
Still can't believe you're gone

Chorus:

It ain't fair you died too young
Like a story that had just begun
The death tore the pages all away
God knows how I miss you
All the hell that I've been through
Just knowing no one could take your place
Sometimes I wonder who you'd be today

Would you see the world?
Would you chase your dreams?
Settle down with a family?
I wonder, what would you name your babies?
Some days the sky's so blue
I feel like I can talk to you
And I know it might sound crazy


Chesney couldn't describe it better, Pat. Sunny days like today do hurt the most and its not fair that ur not here, i miss you more than you know.

Hard to believe that the 3rd Annual Memorial Golf Outing has come and gone! To see all of your friends and family get involved shows what an important impact you had on all of us. It was truly a day to smile and remember - though just as you would have it I'm not sure what some of us remember after getting back to Wayne's. :) One thing is for sure ... you will never be forgotten!!

Saturday is rapidly approaching with so many of your friends coming into Tremont for your 3rd Memorial Golf Outing - how can that be - you were coming home only yesterday - I miss you every day - more at times like this - try as hard as I can - my life will never be the same without you - there is such a void that no one can fill - just know I do this because I love you.
Forever in my heart!!

Hi Pat! Our 15 year class reunion was Saturday night. It was so strange not having you there but I know you were there in spirit. Your mom came and was able to see everyone who was able to make it. Jennifer King put together a great book and your mom wrote a letter and put in an article that is going to published. I don't know that I'll ever be able to read it without shedding a few tears. They aren't always sad tears though because I know you would rather they be tears of joy. Joy at all the memories we made over the years. We miss you so much!

Thinking of you everyday ...

Pat,
I was was thinking of you all day. I think that you try to get me to open my eyes at times and laugh at things a lot more because you pop into my head at such strange times and remind me to just see things so different, so beautifuly.!!! :) My daughter is getting baptised this Sunday. I wish she had the chance to know you. I miss you. Christina

I remember you in school always having a smile on your face that would light up a room instantly & always taking as much as you could dish out. You are missed so much & the class of '92 has definately lost an asset.
