After They Are Gone

When someone we love passes away,
We ache, but we go on;
Our dear departed would want us to heal,
After they are gone.

Grief is a normal way to mend
The anguish and pain in our hearts;
We need time to remember and time to mourn,
Before the recovery starts.

Let's draw together to recuperate,
As we go through this period of sorrow;
Let's help each other, with tender care
To find a brighter tomorrow.

A man is not dead until he is forgotten. Go in peace and remember you are not forgotten while I am still on patrol.

Dear, dear Pat,
You were such an amazing, generous, and wise man. Always had a such a genuine hello and smile to share with me. Thank you so much for everything!

I will always remember you by the beautiful garden you had and your fish tank, but more than anything your generosity. You were one kind man.

I’m grateful that I was able to visit you one last time; even then, your courage and smile shined right through.

May you continue to smile in the Heavens above us,

Thanks so much for being the best thing to ever happen to us. Words can not express how grateful we are for always being there for the both of us and raising us, as crazy of a ride as it was. We love and miss you more than words can describe.

Forever in our hearts,
Christopher and Michelle

RIP Pat

Pat Kerivan, you gave us a countless number of wonderful memories. You as a person, your smile, your crazy ways, will always be a memory we will cherish.

You truly did invent "extreme sports" before they even had a name for it ... you were always fun.

WHEN TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT ME

When tomorrow starts without me
And I’m not here to see
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
filled with tears for me

I wish so much you wouldn’t cry
The way you did today
While thinking of the many things
We did not get to say

I know how much you love me
As much as I love you
And each time that you think of me
I know you’ll miss me too

But when tomorrow starts without me
Please try to understand
That an angel came and called my name
And took me by the hand

The angel said my place was ready
In heaven far above
And that I would have to leave behind
All those I dearly love

So when tomorrow starts without me
Don’t think we’re far apart
For every time you think of me
I’m right here in your heart
