My stepfather Patrick you will be missed so much words cannot describe. God came and took you on June 20th there was a full strawberry moon that night which means the strawberries are blooming. God handed you his hand and said my son my warrior ,fighter of life your time is here and so Patrick went. I was with you until the end and I'm still always here I know you are now my guardian angel and we can fly together. I know your bride my mom is really missing you and your whole family and you will never be forgotten. I love you more with all my heart
