Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi rajiun (we belong to Allah and to him we shall return). My beautiful brother Pat, Allah blessed me with an angel that I loved professionally and personally. Thank you for allowing me and my family to be part of your family. Though we shed tears because we will miss you, we smile because We are blessed to have had you in our life. You were truly a beautiful person, your passion in everything you did but your greatest was the love and passion you had for your family. The best husband, father, brother, son, uncle and friend.
