My brother Joe spent countless hours putting together one long (15 minute) video tribute to Patrick which was shown at Pat’s funeral reception. I will attempt to post that video–in 4 parts–here.
River of Love
Sam Phillips
There’s a river of love that runs through all times
There’s a river of grief that floods through our loves
It starts when a heart is broken into
By the thief of belief in anything that’s true
But there’s a river of love that runs through all time
There’s a river of love that runs through all time
There’s a river of tears that flows through our eyes
We fight through the night for freedom as it fades
Into a jail where we fail everytime we make a break
But there’s a river of love that runs through all time
I had to run before I knew how to crawl
The first step was hard but I have had trouble with them all
But now the night grows darker and the day grows dim
‘Cause I know I never will see you again
And I almost made you happy
There’s a river of love that runs through all time
There’s a river of fire that burns with no light
The flame is the pain of dreams gone up in smoke
From the lies we deny and breathe until we choke
There’s a river of love that runs through all time
Nancy,
I keep checking in to read your recent posts, hoping you are ok. I knew Pat from childhood. It is great to see how amazingly wonderful he became. My prayers are with you,
Susie
I, too, keep checking to see how your family is coping. Please know that there are countless numbers of us, all over the place, who are concerned and thinking of you. I don’t post every day, but I certainly look for your updates each day. Please keep touching base and letting us know how you are doing.
