IIIPatrick’s story

Patrick was patient, giving, funny, honorable, happy and loving, and a great listener. “He was the sweetest, gentlest soul.”

They were together almost eight years. They traveled, babysat their grandkids, had breakfast together most mornings, and went to sleep together each night.

Her photos of their life together include cruising, a hot air balloon, the Grand Canyon, Mexico, a Sox game, and one she captioned “Patrick being silly.”

They got engaged and married with all their kids and grandkids standing with them.

“Losing him so quickly after being alone for so long is just devastating to me and the family”

Patrick’s wife, in her video

She misses his presence, his corny songs, his touch and his smile. “Most of all feeling his love.”

What he leaves behind, she wrote, is a way to live: listen and be patient, be a friend to all, always choose kindness, and work hard.

She asked for a reflective, peaceful song for Patrick, and wrote to him, “I wish I had asked if you felt o.k.” Of the finished song, she says, “It hit everything about him.”
