I send you my condolences. I was in high school with Pat. It was my joy to meet him for the first time since our high school days on December 26th at the Church of the Nazarene Christmas Hymn Sing. We had a wonderful visit over coffee and cookies after the program. I trust that you take comfort that Pat has now joined the great cloud of witnesses who are experiencing unbelievable joy around the throne of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
