The picture above is my mother LaVerne Patrick.What a wonderful wife and mother she was.My real father Thomas Bard died in a car accident leaving my mom with five babies.Stair steps apart.In time she married a wonderful man from her past.Robert L.Patrick was his name.What a wonderful husband and father he was.He accepted us five kids as if we were his own.He made a wonderful life for us.He and my mom had a child together so there was six kids now.Dad was a lifer in the Airforce. What a wonderful life
we all had.During the Viet Nam war the service wanted to send dad to Viet Nam.By then he had served his country for over 30 some yrs. He went into the navy as a young teenager.He was getting too old to go to Viet Nam so he retired.We then moved back to Chicago .Mom and dad were great parents.Sure we had problems like all families did back then.But we were a very close knit family.As the yrs go on family members started passing away.Lost mom at 67yrs of age from Lung Cancer.Lost my brother Tom to a drowning while he was on a fishing trip.Dad just couldent bare going on with out mom,He passed away six months after her.I idolized my dad.What a saint to take on an already made family. Coulden't ask for better parents.Hope to join them soon someday. May you Mom,Dad,and Tom rest in peace.Till we meet again.
Your loving daughter and sister.

Hugs XXXOOO

Sadly Missed :(

Mom, Dec 29th 2009
Well another Christmas has come and gone.Was just sitting here remembering what a wonderful Christmas you and dad made for us kids.You always went out of your way to please us kids.As each year passes I always think things will get better over time.You know I remember you saying it really doesent get easier.Either way each year is like it's the first one.I tried so hard each year to have a good holiday.It is so hard not having you and dad around. I miss calling you so much. My heart aches for you both.I cry myself to sleep alot and wonder how I can go on without you.Life is just not the same anymore.Please come visit me in my dreams mommy.I am sorry I didnt tell you enough how much I love you.We take so much for granted and forget the important things.Anyway mom give dad and kiss and hug for me. And Tom & Jim too.Hope to join you soon.

Merry Christmas Mom & Dad

Dearest Mom,
Was just siting here looking at pictures from the past.Alot from when we were kids.You and dad sure made every Christmas from what I remember a wonderful one.I don't think there was ever a time when we didnt ask for something and not get it. No matter how things were rough at times you and dad made each and everyone a memorable one. Lori and I were so close in age whatever she asked for you got me the same so there was no fighting.LOL

And vice versa.She got what I had.Looking at these pictures with all the toys you made sure we got the best in everything.So many times I wish we had those times back.You and dad made a wonderful life for us kids.Us kids always came first.Not many kids can say that about their parents.Its so sad how much you love someone and cherrish them after their gone.I wished many times I told you and dad I love you more.We take things for granted then when its too late it really hurts inside.I hope you dad,Tom and Jim are together in heaven.Hope to see you all soon.

I Love You All
you are sadly missed :(
Love & Hugs
