I went to St. Paul Park high school with Pat in Minnesota. I lost track of him when he joined the Army. It is sad to be losing so many classmates. My condolences to his family.
So sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you during this difficult time.
Sue and Family, Praying for you during this time of sorrow.
May God, in His love, bring peace and comfort to all of you and heal every heartache.
