"Uncle Pat, I will miss you. There is a pain that I cannot put into words to describe it, there has been no relief from it either. I would rather have had my arm removed than to have heard the words that you had passed. Granny left the same hole in my heart and it has yet to heal, like her you have left and indelible mark upon my heart and soul. I will miss you always. We love you Pat. Beanacht de Agat."
