I am saddened by your departure. You always said you were a lover not a fighter. The many tears that were shed have proven that.



The memories will be a "Sweet Emotion" and the rear of a Harley will forever make me smile because I know you are no longer riding "against the wind"...you are riding free...You will always be "Officer Patrick" to me.



love forever your friend,

The Neighbor
