Hello. My name is Ashley. I used to date Aaron years ago. I just found out about Patrick's death & it instantly hit me. I knew Patrick back when he was younger, and i'm sure he has grown a bit since the last time I seen him. I can honestly say, with my entire heart that up until today, I have always wondered & prayed for your family. No matter who crosses my path, they become a memory & a part of my life that I won't forget & when I heard this about Patrick I couldn't believe it. I wish I kept in contact so I could of been - if any, support to your family. There is now way that I could ever begin to imagine the pain your family has to be going through. I am a mother of two children now, a little girl and a boy - and the first thing I thought of was Patrick's mother. I just want her to know that she always seemed like a strong woman and I know she has been through a lot and that she can get through anything! She has worked so hard for her children & I can't even imagine - I wish there was some magical tape I could grab - because I would make all the pain go away. That boy was one that could always make me laugh. I seen Patrick & Aaron at a BP some months ago, but I was too shy to say hi. Haha. I wanted too - and now I wish I had. I wish your family the very best in healing, and just know that Patrick is resting in peace. He will no longer hunger, no longer thurst, no longer need or want, no longer feel pain. Memories of him may keep him alive in our hearts, but just remember he is only gone in flesh...he is not gone for good. We will all see him one day :) I hope you all take care.
Oh Patrick. I miss you so much. There is no way to express how much i miss you!! I am really missing your annoying calls asking where mom is and when you couldn't sleep and were at the house and you would wake me up and made peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, or i made you some pancakes. Then last summer when i got sick after i got home from georgia, you stayed up with me all night and made sure i was okay. you held my hand that entire night. And said that you wouldn't leave my side. When i woke that morning you were right next to my bed, awake, and still making sure i was fine. You were one of my best friends Patrick. It really sucks that we didn't get to hang out as much as I would hope we would, but all the memories that i have with you are awesome! You taught me so many things that I can't even think of them right now. You were so smart! People say that i am smart, but you had the combination of street and book smart! I will always love you, always and forever. I can't wait til' I get to see you again! I hope that you are there to meet me when it's my time! Please be my guardian angel.
i have too many memories of you to even think of only one! i miss you.but i remeber this one time at the pitt in riverside you were trying to get me to go help branden get wood. ha you said he had a crush on me,lol that same night you grabed a stick out of the fire that was on fire and you didnt know it and you burnt all of the skin off your thumb. and thats the night that me and branden started seeing eachother,thanks to you dude, i love you for that and so many other things....rest in peace
