Patrick, my friend, my brother, How I will miss you…When you think there's No one to love you…You can talk to me through the lord above. I'll Whisper my answer through the leaves on the trees, and you'll feel my presence, In a soft summer breeze, When someone you love becomes a memory…The memory becomes a treasure…Do not ask if we will miss our Patrick…There is such a vacant place in our hearts…We cannot forget his footsteps, not his loving face…The world changes from year to year….But the our love of Patrick Doyle…Will never fade away.
My deepest sympathies to the Doyle family and to those of us who always known Patrick as a brother, a father, a teacher and especially a trusted friend.
