I just learned of Patrick's death and was stunned by the news. I am an old friend of his mother, Barbara, and his aunt, Anna. Although I have not seen the family in many years, I think of them often and have held them close to my heart since I learned that Patrick's cousin, Leah, died at the WTC. Please know that Priscilla Bates loves you all and misses you.
