Condolence From: Bonny Ray and Wanda Kotara
Condolence: Linda and family, we offer our deepest sympathy for your loss. Please take comfort in knowing Pat's suffering has ended and he is enjoying everlasting life with the Lord. Pat was more than just a cousin, he was a special friend, who made life so much more interesting, fun and enjoyable, growing up in the dry-land farming community of McCook. The many fond memories of the crazy things we did in our younger years, will be cherished forever and the stories will be retold, over and over! Like the time we cut the top off of his 57 Fairlane, since Pat had always dreamed of driving a convertible. Oh what fun all the McCook teenagers had, cruising with Pat. If there are cars in heaven, I'll bet Pat will be driving one with the top down! There will always be a special place in our hearts for Patrick. His love for God, Family, Friends and Community, made him a very special person - who will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Condolence: Dear Linda,

We were very saddened to hear of Patrick's passing. We know he fought a long battle. Losing him at any time is hard, but it may have seemed more so on Easter weekend; however, it is the very celebration of the Resurrection of our Lord & Savior, Jesus the Christ, that gives us everlasting hope of Patrick's eternal life in Him. It is that same resurrection power that moved Patrick peacefully from his home on earth with you to his home in heaven with the Lord. Because the Lord conquered death for all who receive the gift of salvation, we, too, have the assurance of never tasting death and the blessed hope of spending eternity with Him...and with Patrick. Until your reunion with your beloved husband, we pray the peace of God which passes all understanding fills your heart and mind in the Anointed One Jesus as you trust in Him to joyfully carry you through the rest of your days here. Grace and Peace to all of Patrick's family and friends.

Cousin Gordie and Natalie

Condolence: Linda, my heart goes out to you for the love, for the courage, for the strength and the attention you gave to my good friend Patrick your husband of many years. You have our utmost respect and admiration for all that you did for him during this last chapter of his life.

I will miss him as a true friend that he was, we might not have shared much time together as some friends do but the handful of times that we shared for will for ever be remembered and be a part of my life.

Our prayers for you and the family in the coming days and always.

Condolence: Oh, Pat, our neighborhood, and this world, will be a much sadder place without you, but I’m so thankful that you are no longer suffering. No one could have asked for a better neighbor and friend than you. No matter what my situation was…a snake, a leaky water heater, a problem with my AC unit, a burning brush pile that got a little out of control, my garage door opener, etc., you were always there ready to help and I could not be more thankful. For years I enjoyed watching you working around your home, wearing that old straw hat, you always had a number of projects going all at the same time. I guess that our Lord decided it was time for you to come to His home and help with the many projects going on there. Until we meet again, you will be sadly missed, friend.
