keepingitrealPatrick and Lisa probably planned this together and it was all he would have wanted I am sure. They loved each other so much and I am sure that it is all that she can do to function and get through each day. The whole family is in my thoughts and prayers and I hope that they can find some peace soon. It was just so sad and way too soon to lose such a great man.report abuseposted October 6, 2009 3:16 PM PDT
