Pat MacFarlane - my cousin and one of my favorite people. Many years ago he happened to leave me a voice mail on my cell phone. I still have it. It is wonderful to hear his happy voice every now and then. I know he is in Heaven probably sending all of us prayers, positive Energy and organizing the Heaven hosts into a great Team. Thank you, Pat. Please ask those heavenly hosts to pray for Natalie and let her be cured!!! Thanks, buddy.

I will be keeping you and yours in my prayers. God bless you.

Dear Patty and Family, There are no words to describe how overwhelmingly sad we are right now - and yet in Heaven there is rejoicing. For Pat, a kind, funny, friendly,good natured man in every way, is being welcomed home by all of his family, friends and Angels and by Jesus, Himself. Even though we cannot see him face to face, we know that he really is here - spirit to spirit - and in time face to face again. "Life IS Eternal, Love IS Immortal, Death is only a Horizon and the horizon is just the limit of our vision." Rest Peacefully, Dear Cousin Pat, till we all meet again. God Bless You.
