Family means having someone to love you unconditionally in spite of you and your shortcomings. Family is loving and supporting one another even when it's not easy to do so. It's being the best person you could be so that you may inspire your loved ones. ...“You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them.” ...

Gramps...smart, funny, caring, everybody that met him became a good friend.

Patrick Kelly Groen

Patrick, you have touched the lives of everyone you have met.
your love and compassion will stay with us forever.

If tears could build a stairway,
and memories were a lane,
I would walk right up to heaven
and bring you home again.
No farewell words were spoken
no time to say goodbye
you were gone before I knew it,
and only God knows why.
My heart still takes in sadness
and secret  tears still flow,
what it means to lose you
no one will ever know.
