Laura and Sarah I am so sorry to hear of Pat’s passing. The world was a better place with him in it. I shall miss him.
Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
We are so very sad about your loss. Pat was a GREAT guy who loved his family, including those Black Labs! 🙂
Keep all of those good memories close to your heart, and focus on Pat’s life.
This Irish poem brings him to mind:
“Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there… I do not sleep.
I am the thousand winds that blow…
I am the diamond glints on snow…
I am the sunlight on ripened grain…
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you waken in the morning’s hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of gentle birds in circling flight…
I am the soft star that shines at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry—
I am not there… I did not die”. (author unknown)
Sarah and I want to thank everyone for the kind loving words that were shared with us last night. The support and love we felt was wonderful. We will be spend time healing and keeping our warm loving and fun memories of our wonderful life together alive in our hearts and minds forever!
Pat was and will always be the love of our lives and we will treasure all of the laughs, tears, good times and challenges we travel though together…I can truly say we depended on each other and knew we could handle anything (and did)…we balanced each other..He was my/our everything.
Thank you once again for being there and tell your love ones you love them everyday treasure every moment of life

Laura

I will keep good thoughts for the Sibley and McDyer families and friends.
Please take good care of yourself.
Breathe and be strong.

I am so sorry to hear this news and am thinking of you and the family. I am very glad to have met him in the past when working @ Xerox Canandaigua and so happy we met when you worked @ Eastman Dental. How funny it was to put 2 & 2 together and get back in touch with Pat… I hope the memories keep your heart happy and time heals ..How sudden and sad- he was so young still XOXO Heather
Oh, Laura, I had no idea until I saw your Facebook post! I am so, so sorry for your loss. Please let us know if there’s anything we can do. Sending hugs for now for you and Sarah.
I am at a loss. Patrick was such a good man. He was the only person to come visit me when I had my surgery years ago. If I needed help with something he would gladly lend a hand. I will miss his calls and texts about snowmobiling, I will miss the endless inappropriate jokes he would tell, and I will miss the countless words of adoration he had for Sarah. I am so sorry for your loss Laura. And Sarah…He loved you SO much, he was so proud of you and talked about you all the time. I am so thankful to have had him as a friend and I will miss him terribly.
Laura & Sarah are both in my thoughts and prayers. Where do I begin- I am devastated. Pat was a great friend and cherished his family. We talked frequently and it was always telling me how Sarah was doing. Other times he would just send me a joke which I will sadly miss. It is with the heaviest heart that I say goodbye to my dear friend. Rest in peace my friend, I will miss you dearly, Kris
A good and loving man, husband, father, friend. Hope to meet you on the other side, Pat. I know you’ll be there. You brought great joy into our lives and the lives of all those you touched. May you rest in peace, through the mercy of God. May the light of Christ surround you and support Laurie and Sarah as they carry on. You are so loved.
Laurie and Sarah – no words are adequate to tell you of our sorrow, and of our love for you. We are always here for you. Love you. Joe and Sue Freivald
