Oh, how I miss you. I miss your smell, your soft skin, your humor, your LOVE, your love for children. I loved to run my fingers through your hair. and rub your legs when you had those cramps. The sparkle in your eyes made me and others laugh. I have a hole in my heart that is bottomless. The house is so big and lonely. No reason to hurry home from an errand. I tried so hard that night to keep you alive and breathing. I just can't accept that you are gone. I know you are with Jesus and your parents. I know God will help, comfort and guide me. I trust in him to be with me through the empty years. You were my life, my spark, my reason for living, my companion, Best Friend,Lover,wall to bounce ideas off of, traveling/dreaming companion. You ate to meals I fixed and never complained. Were they really that good? Please send your spirit to me in my dreams and speak to me.
Your loveing Husband for always
David

Heartfelt Sympathy
by: laurar9763, 01/31/08
I was so sorry to hear of Pat's passing. During the semester after I did my student teaching at NPE, I filled in for Pat when she had surgery as her sub in Kindergarten. I enjoyed getting to know her more during the next year when I was hired to teach first grade. Although I moved to Sugar Creek five years ago, I thought often of Pat and missed talking to her at lunch and in the hallways.
She touched so many lives through her teaching. I will remember her warm smile and gentle ways.

Dave,
Our heartfelt sympathy to you and your family. We are sadden to hear of Pat's passing. Even though it has been many years and we have lost touch, there are so many memories of our times together in the the 60s. There will definitely be an empty place in your heart. May God refresh all your memories of times with Pat. She was a beautiful person in every way.
Bless you,
Chuck and Barb
