Death Is Nothing At All by Henry Scott-Holland
Death is nothing at all. It does not count. I have only slipped away into the next room. Nothing has happened. Everything remains exactly as it was. I am I, and you are you, and the old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged. Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.
Call me by the old familiar name. Speak of me in the easy way which you always used. Put no difference into your tone. Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be ever the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without an effort, without the ghost of a shadow upon it.
Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was. There is absolute and unbroken continuity. What is this death but a negligible accident? Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just round the corner.
All is well. Nothing is hurt; nothing is lost. One brief moment and all will be as it was before. How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting when we meet again!

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. May you find comfort knowing we are sending love and hugs from Rochester MN. ❤️
Diane, I am so sorry for your loss. Patrick was a hoot, he was fun to be around. I remember when you stayed at our house during the hurricane a few years back. 4 adults and 6 dogs. And it worked! We had some good times that night and next day or so.
You two were made for each other and anyone who knows you, knows that. He will be missed but he will always live on in our hearts and memories. May God send his comforting arms to you at this difficult time. Prayers,love and hugs.
It is so sad for this to happen to a wonderful person. Friend. And most of all Husband. He will be missed forever. As a true friend and a caring person!!
RIP brother Patrick!
