Dear Jane/Juliet/Woody and Mike ,

We "came from away" and were welcomed by Paddy and Karen and became fine friends over the years since.
Paddy was generous, kind, funny and smart, a joy to be with.
He leaves a hole in our heart that is full of wonderful memories to which we planned additions.
Karen, Emma, Tom and Ben, we are with you in spirit.
