     Patrick had a love for writing and here are some of his last words he wrote to remember him by.

"Her eyes are blue"

her smiles rare

her laugh is like water in a stream

I see her most night's in my dreams

when I see her it's like a beam through the heart

it stops beating and don't know how to start
