May 17, 1965 - August 8, 2009
I thought of
you with love today but that is nothing new.
I thought about you
yesterday and days before that too.
I think of you in silence, I often speak your name
All I have are memories and your picture in a frame.
Your memory is my keepsake with which I'll never part,
God has you in His keeping, I have you in my heart.
Pat, it has been a year but it still hurts as if it were yesterday.
Know that we love you and feel your presence everyday.
Loving Mother, Sister and Daughter, Drema, Tiffany and Erica
