Hi lil Bro - as you know mom's birthday was on the 8th. Missed hearing from you to celebrate her 85 years and chat about memories, but felt yours, mom's and brother's presence and hoping there is peacefulness being together. Love you all now and forever.

Hi lil bro....1/16 was a year that you passed on to the other side. I miss you each and every day. It doesn't get easier, it just gets different as the time passes, and I hope you are resting peacefully, as well as spending time with all our family and friends that are visiting the afterlife. I miss your raspy laugh and our banter and even the jokes you made at my expense. Love you.

Hi lil bro....it's now 2023 and a day into the new year. Dropping by to let you know I think about you often and love you very very much. I keep getting notifications and questions about mom and james to start a page for each of them. As I go through things as I downsize I will look through pictures and maybe consider it, but also maybe just adding the pictures here on your site and recreate the memory. I miss you and it's hard to believe in 15 days it will be a year. You are always in my thoughts as mom, james, joseph, gary, and all our family and friends who have transitioned to the afterlife are....be peaceful and know you are loved.

Dear Jeannie, I remember Patrick vividly. When I first met him he was a teenager. He was so handsome. I had a secret crush on him. I know how much you love people in your life. I am so sorry for your loss. I love you so much. I wish to see you so badly it hurts. Please write back traciedenchfield65@gmail.com

Hi lil bro...just dropping by to let you know I think of you every day and love and miss you, I really do miss talking to you...and now wish our conversations were perhaps a little bit longer, as well as our time spent together. The years go by so quickly lil bro....if only we really knew. There is nothing more precious than the gift of time. As you know Duke has now joined you in the afterlife. Love, love, love, you and all our family and friends with you. Thank you for watching over us.

Good Morning lil bro! Today is October 16, 2022 and it is now 9 months since passing over. I still miss you every day. I hope you are peacefully resting (or raising a ruckus and telling stories to all our loved ones). Speaking of news...you will be happy to hear Joe and Tina tied the knot and are very happy. I keep in touch with both Joe and Deanna...they help me through each day. Friday is doing better since last winter, as so much was happening when you got sick along with the loss of her little one, but her and Andrew are now married and have a beautiful blended family. Aly is a grandma now as Kelsi is the mom of a beautiful baby girl. Ben is feeling a bit better after a tough summer of illness and Gary and I talk on a regular basis. I love you very much, we love you very much. Thank you for watching over us. I feel your presence each day.

Hi lil bro! It's the end of April 2022. Lots going on and I miss talking to you. I find this medium to be somewhat okay, as I am able to look at your pictures as I am typing, so I don't feel like I am talking to myself LOL. It would be nice to hear your smartass remarks, but I just replay them in my mind and giggle a bit. Anyway, all is as okay as it can be. I miss and love you very very much. Rest well my brother.

I really enjoyed spending time with my brother, and he would visit me and the kids in Washington as often as he could, and we would visit him in Arizona together and separately :). A special memory I have is when the kids and I met up with Patrick in California and did all the touristy stuff, Disneyland, the zoo, beach...and a special memory was going out on the Bahia Bell having dinner and dancing. Patrick was a character on the dance floor and had some great moves. One being where he would look at you and you knew he was ready to do back and front flips...yes, flips...he was amazing, and all eyes were on him as he took over the dance floor. Great times!! Miss you lil bro!
