I am not sure how to begin this, friend. Suffice it to say I am not going make this a typical monument, where I say how much I miss you and so on and so on. That much is obvious. I do miss you, a great deal. But there is more I can say here, than that, man.
You were like a brother to me. That I will never forget, friend. But indeed, I don't believe that physical death can really get in the way of friendships. It is but a mere delay. Time does two things... heals all wounds, and brings us all back to the source of life - The spiritside world, that is.
Don't worry about me, Patrick. We shall meet again.... at that source.

Patrick had several birds at one point
and was very close to them."
